The Link portal component allows users to attach links to portal pages or external web resources and present them in multiple visual formats such as buttons, cards, or images.

The Link component is used to guide portal users to additional information, either within the same portal or to external websites. When configuring a link, users can choose the destination type—portal page, external URL, or unset—and customize how the link is displayed, including layout, icon, color, and alignment.

The component supports multiple formats (button, large button, card, or image), enabling consistent navigation and an improved user experience across portal pages.

Step 1: Add a Link Component

Open the Portal Builder.
Add a Link component to the desired page.
Open the Properties tab.

Step 2: Configure Properties for a Portal Page Link

When linking to an internal portal page, configure the following options:

Option	Explanation

Link destination	Select portal page.
Link location	Choose the portal page to link to (appears only when portal page is selected).
Link format	Display the link as a button, large button, card, or image.
Link background color	Select a background color from theme colors or define a custom color.

Step 3: Select Link Location

When portal page is selected as the destination, a Link Location tab appears.

From this tab, users can:

Add Existing Page

Users can browse pages already created in the Portal Builder. Features include:
