Shortcuts - must be configured or should just work?

I’m a new VeraLite owner. I have set up two lights, a circulation pump and a door lock. So far, so good.

How do I configure dashboard shortcuts? In the knowledge base I found very little information about how to set up shortcuts. It simply says “My Shortcuts are On/Off Controls for All Switches and Door Locks.”

But on my dashboard, the box with the lightbulb under “My Shortcuts” is empty. Is there anything I need to do to make my lights show up there?
