Explains how to add and configure the Link component in the Portal Builder, including linking to portal pages or external URLs and configuring display format and appearance.
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 choose the destination type — portal page, external URL, or unset — and configure how the link is displayed, including layout, icon, colour, and alignment. The component supports button, large button, card, and image formats.
Adding a Link component
- Open the Portal Builder.
- Add a Link component to the desired location on the page.
- Open the Properties tab.
Configuring a portal page link
When linking to an internal portal page, configure the following options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | The title text of the link component (maximum 100 characters). |
| 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 colour | Select a background colour from theme colours or define a custom colour. |
| Icon | Choose an icon to visually represent the link. |
| Description | Text description displayed when using the card format. |
Example: Create a card-style link titled Case Documents that directs users to a dedicated portal page for document access.
Selecting a link location
When Portal page is selected as the destination, a Link Location tab appears. From this tab, you can add an existing page or create a new one.
Add existing page
Browse pages already created in the Portal Builder:
- Use the Find option to search by page name.
- Switch between text view (named pages only) and card view (grid display of all pages).
A single Link component can reference multiple portal pages to present additional information to users.
Create new page
Create a new portal page by providing:
- Page title
- Page name
- URL slug
Example: Create and link a new page titled Help & Support directly from the Link component.
Configuring an external link
To link to an external website, configure the following options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | The title text of the link component (maximum 100 characters). |
| Link destination | Select External URL. |
| External URL | Enter the destination website URL. |
| Text to display | Descriptive text explaining the external link. |
| Link format | Display the link as a button, large button, card, or image. |
| Link background colour | Select a background colour from theme or custom options. |
| Icon | Choose an icon to represent the link. |
| Content alignment | Align the content left, centre, or right. |
