You can insert custom toolbars in views that can contain any type of link that the Internet or intranet supports, such as web sites, other tools, applications, and documents. When a user clicks one of the links, a new browser window opens and displays the contents.
Toolbars can be placed in various positions and you can select different colors for the toolbars so they fit in with your Dashboard look. For details on selecting colors, see Selecting Custom Colors.
You can have up to two toolbars per view. The number of items a toolbar can contain is only limited by the display space. Toolbars do not scroll, but you can maximize your space by positioning the toolbar appropriately (for example, a vertical toolbar can contain more items than a horizontal toolbar in most cases).
Since toolbars are created from items in a toolbox, you must create a toolbox before you create a toolbar. You can create as many toolboxes as you require and each toolbox can contain an unlimited number of items.
Once a toolbox is created, it is available in all public and group views.
