Planning the linksets
Plan your configuration so that linksets containing common links are separate
from linksets containing group-specific links. Also ensure that the links you are
providing to resources do not contradict the client’s access rights.
You can control the order in which links display on the portal Home tab. Consider
the following in your planning:
• Linksets for the group display after the linksets for the client’s extended
profile.
• The index number you assign to the linkset controls the order in which the
linksets display. You assign the index number when you map the linkset to the
group or extended profile (see “Mapping linksets to a group or profile using
the CLI” on page 206 or “Mapping linksets to a group or profile using the
SREM” on page 223).
• The index number you assign to the link controls the order in which the links
display within the linkset. You assign the index number when you include the
link in the linkset (see “Configuring links using the CLI” on page 413 or
“Configuring links using the SREM” on page 444).
Macros
Macros are inline functions you can use to insert variable arguments in text, in
order to customize the portal for individual users.
The following macros are available for use as arguments in parameters for links,
display text, and redirection commands:
•<
var:portal> — expands to the domain name of the portal
•<
var:user> — expands to the user name of the currently logged in client
•<
var:password> — expands to the password of the currently logged in
client
•<
var:group> — expands to the name of the group of which the currently
logged in client is a member
