Introduction
In today's guide, we will explore step-by-step instructions on how to configure custom links on your dashboard, ensuring your users are directed to your preferred resources.
Customizing these links enhances your branding, improves user experience, and provides quick access to your tutorials, community, and help center.
This comprehensive overview covers where to find these settings, how to modify them, and best practices to ensure changes take effect properly.
Detailed Steps for Custom Link Configuration
1. Locating the Default Links on Your Dashboard
When you access your dashboard, you'll notice three key blocks at the bottom:
Block | Description | Default Link |
---|---|---|
Video Tutorials | Guides and how-to videos | YouTube channel or default chat URL |
Community Help Center | User community and support | Default chat URL |
Help Center | Documentation and support articles | Same as above |
Additionally, in the top right corner, you'll find links to the documentation and community, which are linked to the same URLs as the blocks at the bottom.
Important: Changes made to these links will reflect in both locations after the update.
2. Accessing the Settings to Change Links
To customize your links:
Switch to the main workspace.
Navigate to Weather Label Settings.
Locate the YouTube domain or your custom domain.
Note: If you do not set custom URLs, the system defaults to your chat URL.
3. Modifying the URLs
In the Weather Label Settings:
Field | Purpose | Example |
---|---|---|
Video Tutorial URL | Link to your tutorials |
|
Community URL | Link to your community group |
|
Help Center URL | Link to your documentation |
|
Steps:
Enter your desired URLs in each field.
For example:
Change Video Tutorials to your YouTube channel.
Change Community URL to your Facebook group.
Change Help Center URL to your own documentation.
Tip: If you leave these fields blank, the system will use the default chat URL.
4. Saving Changes and Waiting for Propagation
Click Save.
Wait approximately 10 minutes for the system to update.
Note: The changes do not take effect immediately.
5. Ensuring Changes Are Applied
After waiting:
Log out of your account.
Log back in to refresh the session.
Refresh your dashboard.
Expected Result:
Link | Before | After |
---|---|---|
Video Tutorials | Default chat URL | Your custom YouTube link |
Community | Default chat URL | Your Facebook group |
Help Center | Default chat URL | Your documentation URL |
Tip: If links still show the old URLs, ensure you log out and log back in.

Remember to wait at least 10 minutes after saving changes.
