Links Widget Setup

The administrator must have the ACTIVE HOME PAGE ADMIN permission to create, edit, and delete Active Home Pages. See Assigning the Active Home Page Permission.

For information on adding widgets to an active home page, see Creating a New Active Home Page.

To view this widget from the perspective of an end user, see Links Widget.  The visual display may have more or fewer shortcut links than those shown below.

To Customize the Links Widget

The shortcut links displayed in the Links widget are based on the logged-in user's permissions assigned by the system administrator. See also Permissions. There can only be one (1) Links widget configured per Active Home Page.

1. Go to SYSTEM > ACTIVE HOME PAGE ADMIN.
2. Click the cog wheel of the active home page you want to edit, then select EDIT. In this example, we are using the AUDITORS' HOME PAGE. Alternatively, you can also access this active home page by clicking the name of the home page (in orange font) at the bottom of the thumbnail.
   
   
   
   
3. Navigate to the Links widget and select the EDIT WIDGET CONFIGURATION icon.
   
   
   
4. Customize the widget's title, if desired. The default title is Links.
   
   
   
5. Click APPLY to save the new edits. Click CANCEL to cancel your edits.
   
   
   
6. View the newly-customized Links widget on the Active Home Page screen. If you entered a title other than the default title, it will display.
   

   As noted above, the shortcut that display in the links widget are based on the logged-in user's permissions assigned by the system administrator.



7. To save edits in any widget, you must click the SAVE CHANGES icon in the top right corner of your screen. If you do not click this icon, the changes that you made will not be saved.
