Adding Links to a WorkspaceLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

You are a workspace owner or manager.

Context

You create lists of links to applications, reports, and Web sites using the Link List module. Workspace administrators define the applications and reports to which you can add links.

Caution

Note that more than one person can edit the Link List simultaneously. There is no locking mechanism.

The last changes saved are the changes that are displayed in the Link List.

Procedure

  1. To switch to editing mode, from the upper right corner of the Link List, choose Edit.
  2. Add links to the Link List.

    Choose Add Links and select one of the link types - URLs, Reports, or Applications - from the dropdown list.

    The Link Gallery appears displaying three tabs, one for each link type that you can add to the Link List.

    You can do the following in the Link Gallery:

    • The available links in the Reports and Applications tabs are divided into categories. Choose a category to display the links that are available in that category, or select All to display all of the links.

    • You can search by name for links by entering text in the search field. The search results are displayed in the link gallery as you type.

      You can also sort the links by name and creation date.

    • To add a link to the Link List, choose Add.

      Links that you have already added to the Link List appear as Added.

    • To add a link to a Web site:

      1. Choose the URLs tab.

      2. Enter the Link Name.

      3. Specify the URL of the Web site to which you are adding a link.

      4. Choose Add.

      After you choose Add, the Link Name and URL fields are cleared, and you can add additional URL links to the Link List.

  3. When you have added all the links that you want to display in the Link List, choose Done.

    The link gallery closes and you can see the links in the Link List.

  4. To reorder the links, in edit mode, select a link and choose Move up or Move down.

    You can also drag links to a new location in the list.

  5. To change the name of a link, in edit mode, select the link, choose Edit Link, and enter a new name.
  6. To delete a link, in edit mode, select the link and choose Delete link.
  7. To exit edit mode, choose Done.
