Edit External URL

The External URL portlet displays a valid Web site in the My Workplace page. For example, you could add your corporate Web site, or your favorite search engine. Until you define the Web address for the external Web site, the portlet is displayed with no content. The edit button is not displayed in the application, and only an administrator with access to site preferences can configure the portlet.

To configure the external URL

  1. From the Pages view of My Workplace in Site Preferences, click Preview and Setup beneath the name of the appropriate page.
  2. Click Edit in the External URL portlet toolbar. The portlet displays in edit mode.
  3. Enter a valid Web address (URL) to the desired Web site in External URL. For example, the address for the IBM Web site is http://www.ibm.com.
  4. Save your settings; the portlet displays in normal mode.
  5. Close the Preview and Setup page.
