Administrators are able to add external links to the Home Menu. This allows for users to quickly access any external applications or websites.
To add a new link, find the APPS_URL key in the advanced tab of the System Admin menu. Click on to edit the URLs.
The format should be in JSON.
Objects, denoted between brackets { }, should include these attributes:
- “url” – The URL of the target site or application
- “title” – The title displayed in the menu
- “icon” – The icon used next to the displayed name
- “children” – Optional, used to regroup elements together
Objects and attributes should be separated by a comma (,). All objects must be contained within square brackets [ ]. See code below for an example.
