For me one example is navigating to the Macro console, report and/or signatures, which are located within the System module. If you are like me and use the Macros module a lot than please continue reading and find an easy way to speed up access without having to change any existing code! The steps are very easy to follow: - Fire up modules and edit the CMS module. - Go to the "user interface section" and navigate to "CMS" --> "Administration" --> "Configuration" --> "System" --> "Macros". - Hit customize and change the parent element to "Configuration". - Optionally provide a nice element icon CSS class like: "icon-braces-octothorpe".  Now you can easily access the Macros module from your dashboard or navigate to it via the menu.  Happy tweaking :)
