Add, Edit and Re-order Your QuickLinks!

Create your own QuickLinks. It's easy.

In our ongoing effort to make the NCI-Frederick site easier to navigate, we have added a new feature that will allow NCI-Frederick staff to personalize the QuickLinks list. It's easy to do, and works much like "Favorites" in Internet Explorer.

Figure 1: QuickLinks on the Home Page. You will know you are logged in when you see your username displayed in the greeting area. Your account manager links will also be visible.

The QuickLinks section is available on all NCI-Frederick pages and allows individuals to create custom navigation based on what areas of the site they use on a regular basis. Users who are not logged in will see a standard list of 10 links. Users who have created an account and logged in will see their personal list of links.

QuickLinks can be composed of internal pages, external websites and links directly to documents or forms. The first step in using this features is to Create an Account, then you may do any of the following:

• Add a QuickLink using the “Add to QuickLinks” Button
• Add a QuickLink using the account manager
• Edit your QuickLinks using the account manager (edit links, delete links, re-order links)
