Links Menu
From COMPanion
The Links menu provides an easy way for you to quickly jump to other programs and world wide web resources that you may need for your work.
The Link Menu folder is automatically created in your Alexandria Support folder. Any document, program, URL, shortcut, or alias you place in this folder gets displayed in the Links menu. When you make a selection from this menu, that linked document, program, URL, shortcut, or alias is launched.
The contents of the Link Menu folder on the Data Station are automatically copied to the Link Menu folder of Librarian Workstations the very first time that Workstation client is run. After the Link Menu folder has been initially created, any changes made to a particular Workstation are for that Workstation only.
If the Link Menu folder is deleted, the Workstation will create a new one the next time Alexandria is launched and the default documents, programs, URLs, shortcuts, or alias will again be automatically copied from the Data Station.
URL links (pictured above) are generally little icons found just before the http address in the address bar field of your default internet browser. Drag and drop any program shortcut (alias) or URL into the Link Menu folder to make them appear in the Links menu.

| If you are licensed to use Alexandria's netTrekker and SearchALL functionality, hyperlinks to their respective websites will automatically appear in the Links menu. |
