Shortcuts

The Shortcuts tool allows you to quickly access the most recent and relevant data for specific locations across the rail network. Shortcuts are saved filters that return a tailored list of sessions based on your selected criteria – such as Engineer’s Line Reference (ELR) ranges, tags, timeframes, and more. Once created, a shortcut will automatically update with any new data that fits your preferences, helping you stay informed without needing to run repeated searches.

How to Create a Shortcut

1. Locate the Shortcut Tab

• This can be located alongside the sessions tab button.

2. Choose Visibility

• Mine: Only you can see and use this shortcut (private).
• Everyone’s: Shared with anyone in your current workspace (public).

3. Enable Notifications (Optional)

• Opt-in to receive email alerts whenever new sessions which match your shortcut criteria are available.

4. Set a Name

• Choose a clear, descriptive name that helps you (and others, if public) quickly identify what this shortcut is for.

5. Select ELR Range(s)

• Add one or more ELRs that you’re interested in monitoring.
• Select the flag icon to auto-fill the start and end positions of an ELR.

6. Define a Time Window

• Options include:
  • No time filter
  • Start date only
  • Start and end date
  • Rolling window (e.g., Previous 1/2/3 Weeks, Previous 1/3/6 Months)

7. Add Tags for Specific Filters

• Customise your shortcut further by choosing from tags such as:
  • Day or Night
  • Forward or Backward video
  • Video type: FFV, thermal, inspection, overhead
  • Detection types: graffiti, signals, scrap rail, etc.
  • Area of interest: includes emergency stops or wheel slips (if available in your workspace)

How to Use Shortcuts

• Use the search bar at the top of the shortcut section to find any shortcut by name. This is especially helpful if your workspace has multiple public shortcuts.
• Click any shortcut to expand it and view all matching sessions, sortable by most recent data or coverage of your selected ELR range.
• You can edit, delete, or adjust the privacy settings of your own shortcuts, and enable or disable email alerts at any time.
• Public shortcuts created by others are visible across your workspace – you can view them and opt into alerts, but cannot edit them.
