Create FAR Quicklinks Tool
The Quicklinks button allows users to have quick and easy access to the screens they use often, similar to bookmarking a website on their web browser. For example, if there is a report that is used on a regular basis, and it contains complex filters, the user might want to create a Quicklink to that report so it can be accessed quickly. Each user can create their own Quicklinks, which can be shared with other users if they choose.
Initial Steps
Navigate to the page you would like to create a Quicklink for. While the Quicklinks button is not available on the homepage, you can access to the tool from any Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR, Faculty180) specific page within the Interfolio product.
