Quicklinks

"Quicklinks" is an application that allows you to create links to internal and external websites. Doing so associates the links with tiles or graphically distinct list items. This lets you create a "favorites list" that will quickly take you to important or frequently used web pages.

In the "User" role, you can create "personal quicklinks". You are the only one who can see them.

In the "Manager" role, you have access to the "Administration" page. There you can create quicklinks which you can then make visible to other portal users. Then portal users will have both their personal as well as general quicklinks available. The personal quicklinks are always displayed first.

Quicklink tiles and the Quicklink List

Quicklinks can be displayed in the form of tiles or as a list. By default, both the tiles and the list are displayed on the page ("Quicklinks").

The quicklinks page is a page with a portlet container. You can customize the page by clicking the arrow button.

You can remove the quicklink tiles or the quicklink list from the page.

Create a personal quicklink

Personal quicklinks are displayed only to the creator of the quicklink.

You can add the quicklink as a tile or as a list entry. When you add a tile, a list entry is also automatically added and vice versa. You may need to reload the portal page to update the view.
