Using the quick launch you have the following options:
Start a transaction or application
As soon as you enter the name of a transaction or an application, the dropdown menu of the quick launch automatically opens, which is divided into different categories. In this dropdown menu, you can directly start a transaction or an application.
Search
You can access your search providers and search for specific terms. As soon as you enter a search term, the dropdown menu of the quick launch automatically opens. It is divided into different categories, in which you can choose between the search suggestions of different search providers.
You can use mnemonic search against your pre-defined search providers. Using mnemonic search, you can also start the desktop search function. Per default, [d] is configured as mnemonic for Windows Desktop Search.
Navigate to URLs
If you enter a URL into the type-ahead field without adding http://, the system automatically adds https://, or file://, http://.
