Personal links

All users can create and maintain their own personal links within the intranet portal, provided that this function has been activated by the PortalTalk administrator.(see Allow personal apps).
Your personal links are links to online applications, websites and workspaces of your own choice and you can create and maintain these within a PortalTalk web part set up by the SharePoint administrator.
The SharePoint administrator can make such a web part available to users at any desired location in the intranet portal (see Install and configure the PortalTalk integration web parts in SharePoint​).
Your personal links are visible for you only. No other users can see or make use of your personal links.

Your newly added personal link will be placed at the bottom of the PortalTalk web part.
If the number of your personal links exceeds the default display capacity of the PortalTalk webpart, you will not see a newly added link.
You need to move the link up the list in order to be included in the webpart's display. (see next chapter)

If you have a large number of personal links, you will notice that only a maximum of the first twelve links are displayed in the intranet portal because the PortalTalk web part space is limited.
On the Personal Links page within the PortalTalk web application you can see all your personal links.
Also from the PortalTalk web application you can use your personal links by clicking on the links. In addition, you can move, edit and delete your personal links here.

To edit, move or remove links you have already created, you must first access the PortalTalk web application via the Show all→ link.

  • Navigate to the location in the intranet portal where your personal links are available.
