Adding Bookmarks

Bookmarks allow you to avoid lengthy navigations through a remote directory hierarchy, clicking one folder at a time. Creating a bookmark lets you bypass the hierarchy when accessing the target directory.

After you add a bookmark, it appears in the Personal Bookmarks group in Modern Workplace.

1. Click next to the Intranet Address search box.

   The Add Shortcut page appears.

   

2. For Position, select the position for where the bookmark will appear in the list of bookmarks on the Modern Workplace page.

3. In the Name field, type a short, descriptive name for the bookmark.

   This name will appear as the link text in the Personal Bookmarks group in Modern Workplace.

4. In the Address field, type the URL or path for the resource:

   • To create a bookmark for a URL, type the URL in host/path format. If you are creating a bookmark for a standard HTTP resource, you do not need to type http:// in the URL. However, if you are creating a bookmark for a secure Web (HTTPS) resource, you must include the https:// protocol identifier in the URL (https://intranet.example.com).
   • To create a bookmark for a file share resource, type the file share path in Windows Universal Naming Convention (UNC) format (\\ComputerName\Sha\Path\File). For example, to add a bookmark for the sales\proposals folder on the common server, type \\common\sales\proposals.
5. In the Description field, type in a short description for the resource.

6. Select the type of shortcut from the Shortcut Type drop-down list. Choose one of the following:

   • Web shortcut
   • Network shortcut
   • RDP shortcut
   • Citrix shortcut
   • VNC shortcut
   • SSH shortcut
   • Telnet shortcut

   The display changes depending on what you select.

   For example, a Web shortcut might be configured as shown below:
