Setting up Easy Links

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to configure Easy Links to enable users to quickly access learning content.

Easy Links

Easy Links are a convenient feature that provides quick access to various learning resources and functionalities within the platform. These links can be customized and added to the homepage or other strategic locations, enabling users to directly navigate to specific courses, programs, learning plans, or external resources. Easy Links enhance the user experience by streamlining navigation, making it simpler for employees to find and engage with the learning content most relevant to their development and career growth.

A customer may define up to ten easy links that may be distributed among their various user roles. When configured, these links will become part of the Activities menu and can quickly take users to intranet or internet sites.

Easy Links Configuration

Customers need to determine which Easy Links are accessible to various user roles. Typically, there are only a few distinct user roles, each catering to a specific type of user who needs access to certain menus, tiles, and links while excluding others. If a customer has only one type of user, they will have just one global user role. User roles can be assigned during the HR connector process or later via Assignment Profiles.
