A shortcut is a pointer to an object, such as a
relationship, a dimension, a query subject, or a folder. We
recommend that you use shortcuts in the business view when
there is an overlap between user groups and you want to
include the metadata in more than one folder. With
shortcuts, you can have multiple references to an object.
For example, you create folders named Orders, Products, and
Customers. If you want both Orders and Customers to contain
the same dimension, you must create a shortcut to the
dimension and add it to both folders.
