Overview

The linkset autorun feature is similar to the portal feature allowing
automatic redirection to internal sites (see
“Automatic redirection to internal
). The linkset feature allows more granular control of
this functionality. Also, unlike the linkset autorun feature, the automatic
redirection feature does not open the link in a new browser window.
Planning the linksets
Plan your configuration so that linksets containing
common links are separate from linksets containing group-specific links.
Also ensure that the links you are providing to resources do not contradict
the client’s access rights.
You can control the order in which links display on the portal Home tab.
Consider the following in your planning:
•
Linksets for the group display after the linksets for the client’s extended
profile.
•
The index number you assign to the linkset controls the order in which
the linksets display. You assign the index number when you map the
linkset to the group or extended profile (see
•
The index number you assign to the link controls the order in which the
links display within the linkset. You assign the index number when you
include the link in the linkset (see
“Configuring links” (page 253)
