Hi Andy - Thanks for the reply.
I made the Links file, edited the RT_SiteConfig.pm file and restarted apache. When I get to the RT-at-a-glance under global config, I can see links in there now. But I add it to both RT at a glance:body AND RT at a glance:summary, but I see nothing on my homepage. Where you say <!-- insert some html links here --> I just added one normal link for the time being: <a href="http://server.domain.com" target=_blank>Server Link</a> That's what you meant, right? What am I missing here? Also, can anyone explain the difference between the at a glance:body and at a glance:summary? Thanks! Max -- Max McGrath Asst.
