   Note

   "External links" is the default name of the component as it appears on WX homepages.

   Note

   If you have already created an Internal Communication for the link, find it using Lookup.

   The Detail Information section disappears. External links do not have a detail page.

   Note

   Unlike other Internal Communications tiles, this tile type does not appear separately on the homepage. External link "tiles" only appear in the external links component.

9. Choose an icon for the link using the drop-down menu. A preview is displayed beside the menu. Available icons are sorted in the list as follows:

   • Generic icons are displayed at the top of the list

   • Brand icons are displayed at the bottom of the list. (Brand icons are icons for popular tools from Microsoft, Google, ADP, and many other large companies).

   

   Tip

   To scroll through the available icons displaying a preview for each one, select an item from the drop-down menu, then use the Up and Down keys on your keyboard to scroll through the list. The preview icon updates each time.

10. Select Save.
