→Creating an aggregate style shortcut using sum
===Creating an aggregate style shortcut using sum===
The Sum aggregation type is typically used to show a total of funding dollars, people helped or other totals. Set this up by doing the following:
Now you have two aggregate type shortcuts. Next we will add them to a new section in our portal.
===Create a Shortcut section and add aggregate shortcuts===
We will now create a second shortcut section outside the section container which will contain only aggregate shortcuts.When you have more than a few shortcuts we recommend adding multiple shortcut sections. For example you might want to have one section for all your image type shortcuts and a second section for all your aggregate type shortcuts. Create the new shortcut section with aggregate shortcuts by doing the following:
# In the Common role select Draft Portal in the left navigation.
# Under the Main Menu title bar click the Edit button for Home.
# Under the Sections title bar click the Add Section button that looks like a plus sign.
# For Name enter Secondary Shortcuts.
# Change the Type to Shortcuts
# Under the Shortcut Settings title bar click the Lookup button (looks like binoculars) for Selected Shortcuts.
# Select the two aggregate shortcuts we created earlier named Applications in progress and Approved grants to date.
# Click OK.
# Click Save.
# Click on the Display tab and for Background Color enter E0EEFF this will change the background of this section to a light blue.
# Click Save.
# Click the Draft Portal - Common in the Hierarchical Navigation bar at the top.
# Click the Preview button in the submit bar at the bottom of the page.
# Click the Main Menu link called Home.
Now you can see aggregate shortcuts displaying the amount of applications in progress and the dollar value of those applications. Next we are going to add a chart that will show applications by status.
