Employee Slate provides Quick Link widgets on the home page and Canvas to give employees direct access to key destinations.

Both Quick Link widgets use records from Employee Center (`sn_ex_sp_quick_link`).{#eslate-quick-links__eslate-quick-links-intro}

You can configure quick links from the admin console or with the sys_id of each record.
