Re: 'Direct Dial' icon - how?

I recently had to reset my Umidigi Bison to factory defaults,
fortunately I have very few added apps or other customisations so it
didn't take me long to restore most things.
 
However I can't get my 'direct dial' icons working again, these were
two buttons on my main page which dialled 'Home' and 'Wife' directly
by just clicking the button.
 
I have Nova Launcher installed and I seem to rememeber that was
involved somehow, but I can't see how at the moment.
 
Can anyone help please?  (..., it's running Android 11 if that might
be relevant)
 

It's OK, I found it!

To my mind the way of doing it is backwards....

You have to 'press and hold' on the background to bring up the widgets
menu, then select Contacts in widgets and set the contact phone number
you want the button to dial.

Sorry for the noise.
