Add Website Links to the Portal

Companies can add links to the customer portal that redirect to other websites and resources using the custom links feature of SmarterTrack. For example, a company may add a custom link to help guide customers to their webmail or to the company blog. Custom links can show up as icons on the portal or as tabs along the top of the portal.
