Step-by-step
Quick-links are the green link buttons on the top right of your UFV webpages. Quick-links are a good way to highlight key tasks for your users — things that are important and they will need to do often.
To create a quick link:
- Add a new section under your homepage. Call it Quick-links and make sure it's hidden in your navigation.
- Edit the section and click +Add content.
- Choose the Quick-Links content type and give it a descriptive name — this only shows up in T4.
- Add your text — this is the text that will show on the green button. Adding an action verb is best practice. For example: 'Ask a question".
- Decide where the quick-link will point — to a section or content block on the UFV site, or to an external link.
- Decide if you want the link to open in a new window, and then save changes.
- Preview to see if your quick-link is working.
- Repeat the process to add another quick-Link.
TIP: How many quick-links can I have on a webpage?
We recommend sticking to 1 or 2 quick-links to avoid visual clutter for your user.
