Adding Your Own Menu Items

User links provide access to websites, FTP sites, email, local intranet sites, or files available on your network through an additional Accolade menu that is available to only you when you log in.

Administrators can define links for specific users within each user account. You can modify or remove the links specified for you, or add to the list of links for a total of 5 links. Administrators can also modify the links that you add.

To add your own menu items:

1. Access your user profile and select the Details tab.
2. In the User Links section, in the Caption column, enter the text of the menu, up to 64 characters long.

3. From the Link field, select the link type to create:

• http - A URL to a Web page.
• https - A URL to a secure Web page.
• ftp - A link to an FTP download site.
• file - A link to a file or executable on your company's intranet.
• mailto - Opens the default email application and displays a blank email addressed to this email address.
• callto - Opens the default chat and collaboration tool, which invites the person at the address you define to a chat.

4. In the adjacent field, enter the path to complete the link.

For example, if you select http:// from the Link field, enter the remainder of the web site address, www.google.com.

5. Click Apply to save your changes.

Notes:    To delete a link, clear the information entered in all the fields for the link. An empty row in the User Links section does not affect the display of links. That is, links display correctly even if, for example, you have links in rows 1, 2, and 5.
