Infobase shortcuts are .v8l files that contain references to shared Infobase lists. Shortcuts are intended for linking the main Infobase list to multiple shared Infobase lists.
You can use shortcuts to run 1C:Enterprise. If you start 1C:Enterprise using a shortcut, the list of Infobases will only contain items from the shared Infobase lists specified in the shortcut.
