We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

Quick Links Overview

  • Updated:

In the Quick Links module, you can choose to have as many Quick Link categories as you need. Each Link category (such as Parks and Rec Links, Police Links) can 'live' on as many pages as it needs to, but will filter back into the main Quick Links module page. Quick Links can also be set up with your Departments as categories or other areas of interest as a category.

  

The Quick Links widget in Live Edit can be used to place any categories on a page. When Quick Links are on any page besides the homepage and the Quick Links module page, they will be placed on the right-hand side of the page or in the feature column (the feature column must be turned on).

 

Functions

  • Organize Quick Links by category
  • Provide links to important information, documents, or related websites, cutting down on phone calls and foot traffic
  • Change the order and placement of Quick Links on a page
  • Set Quick Links to auto-publish/unpublish 
  • Place the same Quick Links on one or more related pages
  • View Quick Link Module References

 

Examples

  • A Quick Links category called “Finance Department” may contain links to pages such as:
    • Appraisers Office
    • Property Tax Search
    • Online Utility Bill Payment
  • A Quick Links category called “Home Page” may include links on your home page that you always want to keep updated, such as:
    • Apply for a Job
    • How Do I...?
    • City Directory
    • Calendar
    • Facebook

    Please explain what the #Ref count heading refers to in the Quick Links module. I expect its how many pages the Quick Links appears on, but it's not clear. I expect that when I click on those Quick Links where the number is not 0 that it would show me the pages where the Quick Links are visible (like in the documents module) but it does not.

    Hi Jenny Larkin,

    Thank you for your question! The Quick Links module's # Ref heading is intended to assist in determining where a Quick Links category is referenced, how many times it is referenced, and to quickly access where they are referenced. You can find more information about this feature in our View Quick Links Site References article.

    If you are unable to see a Quick Links Widget References popup similar to the one that appears in step 4 of the Quick Links Site References article referenced above, I recommend contacting our Support team so they can look into this issue further.
