Adding Website to Your Android Home Screen


Sometimes you are using (because you like to or have to) a web page from your Android device and you think that I would be better if you could access directly, maybe using an application on your screen or having it as a bookmark on your browser.

Unfortunately not all webpages offers their own application for quick access, and using a bookmark force you to start the browser, then go to the bookmarks section, then search between bookmarks what you want and then click on it.

What you can do if there is no application to help you is to 'pin' that web in your home screen so you can access it directly. To do that, first start you default web browser (in this case Chromium), go to your favorite web and click on options (button with 3 dots):
 
Open menu of browser

Next click on 'Add to Home screen' option:  
 
Add page to home screen

Write the name for this direct access:  
 
Set name of the shortcut

And it's done, now you can go to that page directly by clicking on its icon on the home screen:

Shortcut in Android home screen

I have seen other browsers that offers this option too, the steps should be similar and I think you won't have any problem doing them.

You will get a dialog box opened, in this we have the possibility of setting the rules for this agent. However, in this case we will only set "Trigger" option to "On schedule" with the "Weekly" frequency. Don't forget to push the "Schedule..." button to program the agent in the right way. After this, select "OK" and close the dialog bo...

Turn Horizontal Visio Swimlanes into Vertical Ones

Image
In one ocassion, a friend at work called me because she had a problem with Microsoft Visio , she was trying to draw a process flowchat but using swimlanes, this was not a problem until she realized that it would be better to use vertical swimlanes instead of horizontal ones.    But, when she tried to drag a vertical one it just put together to the previous swimlanes created before.  To avoid creating a new visio document and lost your work just go to 'Cross-Functional Flowchart' ribbon and select 'Orientation' and 'Vertical'.     And it's done, now you can work with vertical swimlanes or if you like it you can turn them back to horizontal ones.
