The IGSS Portal has Windows registry settings that allow user configuration of links to Internet home pages or to locations on one's own intranet. This would be useful in cases where updated supplier information could be obtained from the Internet or where a handbook for internal procedures concerning monitoring and control could be made available.
The strings to be added to achieve this functionality are found in the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE as seen in the illustration below.
To configure a new link correctly, two new strings must be created by keeping to the naming convention illustrated above, i.e. Link_(number) with the url to link to and Text_(number) with the text to be displayed for the link. In the illustration below, our first link is to a website on the Internet and our second link is to the local intranet where a company handbook describing work procedures can be viewed.
