# Admin: Add Shortcut

nVoq client users without an Admin Role can add their own account shortcuts on the shortcuts page in nVoq Administrator. Users with an Administrator Role can add account *and* organization shortcuts.

1. Go to the **Shortcuts page** in nVoq Administrator.
  - Optionally, click the Manage icon in the sidebar to *hide the sidebar* while you work.

1. **Select the appropriate organization** from the organization menu at the very top of the screen.
  - Navigate this menu by using the **Expand All** button to open all organizations, by clicking the **> arrow** next to each organization level to open it, or by typing an organization name in the **Filter** text field.
2. Select the appropriate radio button to add a shortcut for an account or an organization:

### Add Account Shortcuts
  1. Select the **Account radio button**.
  2. Then **select an account** from the Account menu.
    - The menu will display a maximum of 250 accounts. If there are more than 250 accounts in the selected organization, the bottom of the menu will say, "Showing 250 out of [#] possible accounts."![account-list-over-250-accounts](https://cdn.us.document360.io/03b5534a-5f9a-42ce-852d-08bf09105da4/Images/Documentation/account-list-over-250-accounts.png)
    - To see shortcuts and folders for an individual user account, type part of the person's name in the the **Find Account** field. This will find any account that exists in the selected organization, even if it is not displayed in the menu.

    - If the username is cut off, hover your mouse over the name to see the username in a tooltip.

### Add Organization Shortcuts

1. Select the **Organization** **radio button**.
2. Then select the appropriate **Show Organization radio button** to view existing shortcuts for the selected organization:
  - Choose *selected and parents* to see shortcuts created for the organization selected in the Organization menu and all parent organizations above it.
  - Choose *only selected* to see shortcuts created for only the organization selected in the Organization menu.
  - Choose *selected and children* to see shortcuts created for the organization selected in the Organization menu and all child organizations below it.
  - ***If the option you want to see is already selected when you first bring up this page you may need to select a different option and then re-select the option you want to view in order to display the selection.***
