Create Shortcuts in the Task Pane

A task pane is a grouped list of shortcuts or bookmarks to favourite MineMarket objects or web pages configured to display in the MineMarket Client user interface.

System administrators can use task pane templates to customise and assign task panes to users in a user group. See Set up a Task Pane Template. You can also create your own task pane shortcuts to MineMarket objects and web pages. Your own shortcuts display in addition to shortcuts defined in a task pane template. For information about which MineMarket objects can be added as shortcuts, see Task Panes.

Note: If a system administrator forces a refresh of the task pane, the task pane template is restored and your shortcuts are removed.
