The Link widget provides access to external websites, documents or applications from your dashboard. Each widget can hold one or more links, and each link can open in the way that suits it best - including embedded directly in the dashboard.
What this widget is for
Most work starts somewhere else: a policy library, a reporting tool, a shared drive. The Link widget puts those destinations one click from the dashboard your team already checks each morning. Use a single link to your intranet, or a small set of links grouped under one header for the tools a team uses daily. Embedded links go further and keep users in ProcessPro by showing the destination inside the widget.
What the widget shows
The widget displays the link text you configure for each link. When a link's behaviour is set to Embedded, the linked page is displayed inside the widget instead.
Quick Steps
Select the Edit Layout button on the dashboard.
Select the Add widget button. The Add Dashboard Widget window opens.
On the Details tab, enter a widget header and select Link from the Type dropdown.
On the Configuration tab, enter the URL and link details for each link.
Select the green Save button. The widget displays on the dashboard.
Select the Done button to exit editing mode.
Configuration options
Each link in the widget is configured with the following options:
URL: the address the link opens.
Link text: the text displayed for the link in the widget.
Link Behaviour: how the link opens - Same tab, New tab, Popup, or Embedded (the page displays inside the widget).
Link Colour: the colour of the link text.
Sandbox: optional sandbox restrictions applied to the embedded page when Link Behaviour is Embedded.
Referrer policy: how much referrer information is sent to the linked page (for example No Referrer, Origin or Strict Origin).
Every widget also has common display options for the header, title, subtitle, help text and title styling. See Managing Dashboard Widgets for details.
