Shortcut plugin

When you add the Shortcut plugin, items receive unique IDs consisting of a collection key and a number. For example:

CLIENT-1

You can reference items by writing #CLIENT-1 in any text field in Plyn. It will be automatically converted to a clickable link to the item.

info

Currently, shortcuts are generated automatically based on the collection name and are unchangeable. This is to ensure the permanence of IDs.

Shortcuts are shown before item names.

Iteractions with other plugins​

Shortcuts do not interact with other plugins.

Configuration​

Shortcut plugin is not configurable.

Usage​

When to use​

  • If you need to refer to items from anywhere in the system.
  • If it's easier to discuss items by referring to them with their unique IDs.
  • If you need to reference items in other systems using unique IDs.

When not to use​

For simple use cases, shortcuts can be overkill.
