To put a short shortcut on your Apple device, you will need to use the Safari web browser. The Google web browser will not allow you to make a shortcut. The screenshots and directions in this section are from an iPhone 5s. The process will be similar with other iPhone models or Apple devices.
1. Open the Safari web browser.
2. Go to the login page for your organization's VicNet portal. The Logging into VicNet section above may be helpful if you do not know where this is.
3. When the screen to enter your email and password is displayed, tap the Share icon.

4. Select Add to Home Screen.

5. Create a name for the shortcut and tap the Add link.

You should now be able to simply tap the icon for the shortcut on your home screen to go to the VicNet portal to login.

Shortcut for Android Devices
With an Android device, you can use any web browser to place a shortcut on your home screen. The screenshots in this section show how to do this with the Chrome browser on an Android tablet. The process will be similar with other browsers and devices.
1. Open the web browser (Chrome, Firefox, or the default browser for the device).
2. Go to the login page for your organization's VicNet portal. The Logging into VicNet section above may be helpful if you do not know where this is.
3. When the screen to enter your email and password is displayed, tap the web browser's menu and select Add to Home screen. (In other browsers this may be Add to homescreen or Add shortcut on Home Screen.)

4. Enter a name for the shortcut and tap the ADD link. With some browsers there will not be an option to enter a name so you will need to use the default.

You should now be able to simply tap the icon for the shortcut on your home screen to go to the VicNet portal to login.
