Clicking My Place, My Settings, Quick Links displays a list of all your existing quick links. To modify an existing quick link, click on the hyperlinked page name corresponding to the link you wish to edit.
For each quick link, you can edit the following information:
Description: This field corresponds to the page name listed on the Edit Quick Links screen. You can modify this field to more clearly identify the function you wish to access through this quick link.
URL: Enter the path and filename of the function you wish to access through this quick link. Use the format:
/directory/filename.cfm
Note that you do not need to include the entire path (i.e. www.CNAVatYourSchool.com/directory/filename). However, you MUST include the directory path with the filename.
To find the directory path and filename, use CNAV as you normally would to navigate to the page you wish to add as a quick link. While displaying that page, do one of the following:
In Internet Explorer: Right-click and select Properties. The filename is the last portion of the Address (URL) displayed.
In Netscape: Right-click and select View Frame Source. The filename appears at the end of the title bar on the next screen displayed.
Example: To add a quick link to Find It Now, People, enter the following address at the URL field:
/people/search_people.cfm
Warning! If you set your link URL incorrectly, when you attempt to access this quick link you will see the message "Error Occurred While Processing Request. Error Diagnostic Information. An error has occurred. HTTP/1.0 404 Object Not Found." To fix the problem, return to the Edit Quick Link screen and enter the correct URL.
Parameters: Sometimes to access the correct screen, you need to pass a particular parameter as part of the link. You can identify parameters being passed when you find the directory path and filename. Any parameter required will be listed after a question mark that follows the .cfm filename. For example, to access a listing of Courses in the Computer Science department, you want to link to the Find It Now, Courses page and pass the parameter "SubjectAreaCode=CS". You will know this because when you access that page directly and display the source, the source will read ".....courses/course_catalog.cfm?SubjectAreaCode=CS". The portion that follows the question mark is the parameter being passed.
After entering all desired changes, click Submit.
To reset all fields to their previous values and start again, click Reset.
To return to the Edit Quick Links screen, click Back.
