Add a Link to Quick Links

This article will show you how to add a link to Quick Links.

Best Practices

• Category and link titles should be intuitively named.
  • Do not use the names of departments, breadcrumbs, etc. if they don’t make sense on their own.
• Indicate file extensions at the end of links.
  • Examples: PDF, PPT, XLS, HTML
• Open all documents and files in a new window.
• All links to other pages within the same website or links to external URLs should open in the same window.
• When using the widget in the feature column retain the default menu title Quick Links.
