Add or update a staff link

How sitewide administrators add or update quick links shown to staff.

The Tools & Links area manages quick links that staff can open from their profiles. Adding or editing links is restricted to Canopy sitewide administrators.

  1. Open Tools & Links and select Add link.
  2. Enter the link name and destination URL. The name and a valid URL are required.
  3. Optionally add a short description, alternate names (comma-separated), an icon, category, and sort order.
  4. If the link is associated with a Service Catalog entry, select it. This adds a service-details link on staff profiles; the quick link still opens the URL you entered.
  5. Leave the link active to show it to staff, or turn it off to keep it inactive. Select Save Link.

To change an existing link, find it in the list, choose its edit action, update the fields, and save. Use the active and category filters to locate links.
