Add New Area有ink Area

Overview

Link areas create an access point to a URL in the Organization Menu.

Adding a new Link Area through this page creates an Area that will access the defined URL in each new organization. Note that the new Link Area is only a default. The Leader of each organization can choose to modify or remove the Link Area within each organization. To modify the new area or to set its place within the Organization Menu, use the Set Default Organization Menu feature.
