How do I add custom external links to the Clever Portal?

You can set up external links for your students and teachers to click on when they log into the Clever Portal. Custom external links work much like bookmarks- bringing your users directly to the webpage. You can customize which external links are visible, based on user type, grade level, and school sites.

Unlike single sign-on (SSO) or Saved-passwords applications, external links do not authenticate users into their web-based resources.

Adding a Custom External Link

When accessing your Portal:

1. Click "Customize Portal"
2. Click ‘Add Link’ next to the category under which you want the new link to appear.
3. Select the last option in the menu that states “Create a custom link”.
4. Select an icon or upload a custom icon (Note: Optimal icon size should be 200x200)
5. Fill out the appropriate fields.
6. Select which user types, grades, and schools you would like to add the custom link for.
7. Click ‘Add Link’.
8. Hit ‘Publish Changes’ on the top right after you are finished.  

 You can organize external links as well as connected applications by clicking the Customize Portal button in the top right hand corner:
