Favorites and Links

You can customize the Favorites folder and Links bar by adding links to sites related to your company or services. For example, if you're an ICP specializing in entertainment, you can provide links for entertainment-related sites.

The Links bar appears by default at the top of the user's screen, and it comes with a set of default links. You can add links to the default folders or add new folders. When a user clicks Favorites, the Favorites list appears on the left side of the window.

Place Favorites at top of list
Select this check box to specify that the Favorites you choose are moved to the top of the users' Favorites list, so they are easier for the user to find.

Delete existing Favorites and Links, if present (corporate administrators only)
Select this check box to delete the items on the users' Favorites and Links lists. It is recommended that you use this setting with caution, because it removes the links and favorites that the users have set up.

To add a folder to the Favorites list or Links bar

1. Click Favorites, Links, or a folder within Favorites or Links, and then click Add Folder.
