Shortcuts let you link a Zoot item to other resources on your computer. You can create shortcuts to Zoot folders and items, to files or file folders on your disk drive, and to Microsoft Outlook items or Microsoft Word documents.
Every item in a Zoot database has its own collection of shortcuts. To view an item's shortcut collection, click the big (Z) button located just above and to the left of the Item Editor. Zoot will display a pop-up menu listing any shortcuts currently attached to the item. Click on a shortcut to launch it. To view an item's shortcut collection in more detail, or to edit individual shortcuts, choose Open Shortcuts Manager from the pop-up menu.
In some cases shortcuts are created for you automatically. For instance, click the Link button located just above Item Editor (right side) and you can create a new item which is linked to the currently selected item. A common use for this feature is to create a new Task item linked to some other item, a Contact, for instance.
When synchronizing with Microsoft Outlook, Zoot creates shortcuts between the items in your Zoot database and the items in the corresponding Outlook folder. This lets you move between the items in the two programs with a click of the mouse.
