The SAS Information Delivery Portal allows you to create links to sites on the Web or on a local intranet. The links can then be included on lists and displayed in windows in the portal.
To add a link to the portal, follow these steps:
Use the Personalize tool to add the link to the portal's enterprise directory.
Use the Personalize tool to make the link appear as a selection on the portal.
The portal's Personalize tool provides a graphical user interface for adding the name, description, and URL address for a link to the enterprise directory. Individual users can use the Personalize tool to add personal links that are available to only that user. If you have authority as a group owner, you can use this tool to add a role-based link which will be available to all users in the group. If you have authority as a public content administrator, you can use this tool to add a public link which will be available to all portal users.
For instructions on using the Personalize tool to add a personal or role-based link, refer to Creating and Editing Personal Links and Creating and Editing Role-based Links in the portal User's Guide. To add a public link, the procedure is the same except that you must sign on with public content administrator privileges, and then choose Public as the role to personalize.
Take any necessary steps to control access to the link. For general information about access control, refer to Controlling Access to Portal Content.
Depending on who has access permission to the link, you can use one of the following methods to make it appear as a selection on the portal:
The public content administrator can use the Personalize feature to add the link to a public list. When the public content administrator performs this function, the portal application displays a list box containing all public links. From the list box, the administrator selects the links that are to appear on the public list.
Group owners can use the Personalize feature to add the link to a role-based list. When the group owner performs this function, the portal application displays a list box containing all role-based links that are available to the group. From the list box, the group owner selects the links that are to appear on the role-based list.
Individual users can use the Personalize feature to add the link to a personal list. When the user performs this function, the portal application displays a list box containing all links in the enterprise directory that the user is authorized to access. From the list box, the user selects the links that are to appear on his or her personal list.
