Navigating Between Applications Using Web Links
Quick navigation and ease-of-use are critical elements to engage your Prophix users. Reducing clicks and granting quicker access to important resources can improve product adoption, increase productivity, and raise user satisfaction. In each new release, Prophix strives to improve the usability of our user interface.
You will find one such example in our Fall 2020 Release called Web Links!
-
Web Links is a new function in Document Explorer that allows you to quickly link different applications to Prophix
-
Web Links offers an intuitive way to link external applications like Sage or other cloud-based ERPs to Prophix
-
Once the user adds their URL to a Web Link, they can access their application with a single click
-
This helps to conveniently switch between different applications
-
Web Links allows users to create a shortcut to a URL for quick navigation between apps
-
If you don’t want to toggle between browsers to view different applications, you can store all your frequently used applications on Prophix using Web Links
-
You can also add Web Links to a Dashboard, so you can open an external application directly from the Dashboard
How To
- To create a Web Link, click on Document Explorer --> Select a specific folder --> click on Web Link --> Add a name and your URL
Use Cases of Web Link
-
Create a folder called ‘Quick Links’ and add a URL from an external application
-
Another way would be to create department-specific folders, add Web Links specific to each department, and change the folder security to a group. This will grant access to the Web Links to members of that group
-
You can assign Web Links to a user as Favorites. E.g., if you have a user who needs to keep track of Bank of Canada’s website, then you can assign a Bank of Canada Web Link to that user
-
You can also add a Web Link to your Dashboard’s Favorites. This will enable a user to open the application directly from his or her dashboard
Web Links is a quick and convenient way to access your third-party applications and you can use this feature in a number of ways. Tell us how you will use this feature!
