(If using this variant, remember to consider the usability issues with icons.) However sometimes the icons are not decipherable or memorable. It may match the site aesthetic and be helpful. Unlike the drop-down list or list of links, this variation uses a larger part of the screen real estate. In recent years another variation that has appeared on some flat-design intranets displays icons, sometimes with labels, that offer one-click access. While Quicklinks is usually a drop-down list, sometimes it can also be presented in a more visible and accessible way, as an on-page list of links. This type of navigator is better justified than Quicklinks.) For example, designers may use a navigator outside the intranet’s global navigation to offer access to another enterprise application or the public-facing website. (Navigators are sometimes also used on intranets to access elements that are not part of the intranet’s IA. may make some commands easier to find and access than they are in the IA.can attract attention to a small set of links or commands.resides at the high level on the page as well as in the information architecture.Often referred to as a “navigator,” this type of component has several benefits. The feature usually takes the form of a drop-down list appearing in the upper right part of the homepage or on all pages on the intranet. Quicklinks (or Quick Links) is a list of unstructured links placed in a salient place on a page. But, I take exception with the particulars of the practice, and the catchy and confusing label. To be clear, the capability to organize links and to make them accessible to employees as quickly as possible is a helpful, positive offering on intranets. In fact, 20% of the total number of intranets submitted to this year’s contest offer Quicklinks. Thriving since the early 2000s, the practice of using the term Quicklinks is unfortunately alive and well. When working on choosing the top 10 winning intranets for our Intranet Design Annual contest, I was once again reminded of a design trend that I wish would disappear.
