Links to outside sites
You can add links to content that is hosted outside of your portal. You can place these links in multiple locations of your portal. Depending on the type of content to which you are linking, you can add the link to a specific section of a landing page, to the Related Links area of a landing page and to the Find a Form area of a landing page. You can also add an outside link to a widget.
For each link to an outside site that you want to create, you must add a special document and then configure the data items in that document.
The table below shows the documents that are used for each specific purpose:
| Integration Document | Description |
|---|---|
| Redirect URL for forms | For links to forms that are hosted on other servers. Links are displayed in the Find a Form area of the specified landing page. |
| Redirect URL Master | For all links on pages that point to content that is hosted on other servers. Links are displayed in the body of the specified portal page. |
| Related Links | For links to other websites or servers. Links are displayed in the Related Links area of the specified landing page. |
After you add one of the documents, you must configure the data items in the document to specify both the URL and the location of the link. Each data item can have pre-configured landing page choices. You can select one of the available landing page options. These actions are described in detail in related topics.
These tables show the data items that are associated with the integration documents. You can configure the data items to add links to various areas of the portal.
