Employee Center Quick Links Widget

[jewellauber]

Is there away to change the display of the Quick Links widget in ESC?  I would like the links to display as they display on the "Quick Links on Topic Page" widget and not the "Quick Links" widget.  This is only to give me more real-estate on the page.

Hey @jewellauber 

The Quick links on a topic page are using a seperate widget (Quick Links for Topic) that includes some code to render the quicklinks you have defined in the topic.

The Quick Links widget on a homepage is a more configurable widget. If you ctrl+rightclick while hovering over the widget you can select 'Instance Options' which allows you to configure. 

Doing things like remove short description etc. might make it look a bit more like it but the homepage widget is designed to be more 'appealing' using things like borders etc. 

Remember that you can within the instance of a widget, do any configuration or design changes you want without customising the widget itself. So you could within CSS on the Instance of your widget do things like removing borders etc. to force it into more of a design like the Topics.

Guess it's one of those design things that's 'in the eye of the beholder' and all that. Personally I find the Quick Link widget much more visually appealing over the dedicated Topic one 😄
