How to manage saved links in the OFS menu page

Saving links on the OFS Menu gives you quick access to your most-used Analytics reports, so you can find the data you want without hunting for it. This covers the two types of saved links and how to set each one up.

There are two types of link available on the OFS Menu: public links and private links.

Public links

Public links (also called Global Links) are available to every user with access to the OFS Menu. They can only be set by OFS, so contact your OFS representative or OFS Support if you'd like these configured for your deployment.

Public links can point to Analytics Reports, external tools, training resources, or other webpages.

Public links use a different icon to private links and can't have a description.

Private links

Private links are configured on a per-user basis. They appear only in the Saved Links section of the OFS Menu for the user they're set up for — other users won't see them in their own list.

To create a private link, you need to be an Administrator user, or have an OFS Administrator user do it for you.

Step 1 — Create the report and share it

Log into OFS Analytics and create the report you'd like to save. Click Share, then Create a link to this page. This generates a Direct Link.

Step 2 — Close the Direct Link dialog

Once the URL appears, you can close the Direct Link dialog. Because you were logged in as the target user when you created it, the link is ready to be added to that user's account in the next step.


Step 3 — Log into Fusion Manager as an Administrator

Exit Analytics and log into Fusion Manager as an Administrator user.

Step 4 — Open the user's properties

Navigate to Users & Operators, then click the icon to edit user properties. Make sure you select the same user who created the link in Step 1 — this is the only user it will be visible to.


Step 5 — Find the link on the User Links tab

Select the User Links tab. You should see the link you just created listed here.


Step 6 — Edit the link details

Click the link to expand its options. Here you can edit the Category Name, Title, and Description.



Once you're done, set Visible on menu to on, then click Update at the bottom.

Step 7 — Check it on the OFS Menu

When that user next logs into the OFS Menu, the report will appear in the Saved Links section. The icon has a padlock, showing that it's a private link.
