Hi everyone,
We’re building a custom Employee Center portal (a copy of the EC theme, using the OOTB Employee Center Header widget). We have Quick Links in two places:
- Header: the portal’s Main menu has a menu item “Quick links” (Type = Page) with child menu items (Tickets, Approvals, Report an issue, Surveys) that we created manually.
- Homepage: a Quick Links widget that reads records from the Employee Center > Quick Links table (configured via instance options, card view).
Both show the same links today, but they’re maintained separately. We’d like a single source: the Quick Links table.
What we tried:
- On a Quick Link record there’s a Navigation related list. We linked a quick link to our “Quick links” menu item, but nothing changed in the header (also tested on another menu item).
Questions:
- Is there an OOTB way for the Employee Center header menu to display records from the Quick Links table? What is the Navigation related list on Quick Links used for?
- If not, is a Scripted List menu item reading the Quick Links table the recommended approach, or is maintaining menu items separately the usual practice?
- Any best practices for keeping header links and homepage quick links in sync?
- since the header has the quick link records , how can i keep them on homepage without creating the records in quick link table.
Thanks in advance!
