We do not plan to implement the ability to add external links or display external sites inside of SmarterTrack, primarily due to concerns over security. Displaying additional web pages or applications in an iframe within SmarterTrack could potentially be a security problem, or it could cause functionality problems. Part of the problem is that web pages in an iframe can, using javascript, access the page which contains the iframe. In addition, if it a web page is not designed to be displayed in an iframe, it can trigger a browser memory leak. Without permitting additional sites to be hosted within an iframe, the utility of allowing custom links is questionable. Such functionality is currently offered by browsers via bookmarks and tabbed browsing.

 

We are considering the ability to manage the top navigation menu items - change the order, turn sections off, etc.

After internal discussion, we have decided not to implement this feature. This feature was in a previous version of SmarterTrack, but it caused numerous issues.
