Site Bookmarks

Introduction

The Site Bookmarks feature enables Site Administrators to configure a set of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) to be available to all Flywheel site users.

Common use cases include linking to an organization’s internal Information Technology (IT) support resources or documentation for the organization’s policies/procedures governing the use of the site.

When a user clicks on a bookmark, the associated URL will open in a new tab in the same browser window.

Permissions

Only Site Administrators may add, modify, rearrange, and delete bookmarks.

Instruction Steps

  2. Click Edit Bookmarks to open the Manage Bookmarks interface.

  3. Add, modify, delete, and reorder Bookmarks as needed. Click Add Another Bookmark to add a row, drag the handle at the left of a row to reorder it, and click the delete icon to remove a row.

Usage Considerations

  • The Flywheel system does not perform validation on the URLs, verify that all URLs work as expected
  • Only web URLs are supported, other service types or javascript are not
  • Bookmark names are limited to 64 characters
  • This feature is optimized for use cases of 5 or fewer bookmarks, though configuring more is possible
