Creating Shortcuts for Dashboard Projects

Starts the Display Builder or Viewer from a convenient location.

The shortcut starts the Builder or Viewer and simultaneously opens a specified dashboard project.

  1. At the location where you want to create the shortcut, select File > New > Shortcut from the menu bar, or right-click and select New > Shortcut.
  2. In the Create Shortcut wizard, assign the shortcut a name, then enter %RTVIEWADAPTER_HOME%\bin\start_builder.bat <project_filepath> [<rtv_file_name>.rtv] as the location of the item.
    <project_filepath> is the absolute file path of the project folder. <rtv_file_name> is the name of the .rtv file of the dashboard you want to open.
    Click Next.
  3. Right-click the shortcut and select Properties.
  4. In the Properties window, set the Run field to Minimized.
  5. Repeat steps 2––4 to create a corresponding shortcut that starts the dashboard project in the Display Viewer.
    Enter %RTVIEWADAPTER_HOME%\bin\start_viewer.bat <project_filepath> <rtv_file_name>.rtv as the location of the item.
