A URL is a standard way of identifying the location for any external file or Web site. Create URLs to keep the files and Web sites you use most frequently at your fingertips. Clicking a URL opens the file or Web site in the browser. After opening a URL, click the back button in your browser to return to the portal.
In ATG Reporting Center, go to the folder where you want to create the new URL.
Click the new URL button on the toolbar.
In the Name box, type the name of the new URL.
If you want, in the Description and in the Screen tip box, you can type a description of the entry. The description appears in the portal when you set your preferences to use the details view. The screen tip, which is limited to 100 characters, appears when you pause your pointer over the icon for the entry in the portal.
In the URL box, type the URL location. If the URL points to a Web site address, the protocol must be included.
If you do not want to use the target folder shown under Location, choose another location:
Click Select another folder, select the target folder, and click OK. If the folder box is empty, go back one folder level using the path at the top of the dialog box.
Click Select My Folders as the location.
Click Finish.
Note: In the portal, URL entries are identified by the URL icon.
