View versus Add Menu Links for Exchanges
When a visitor clicks on the exchanges link in a menu, on
the home page, he is presented with the exchanges list.
It might be desirable to lead visitors to different
exchanges based on the activity they want to conduct, for example - Art for Sale,
Add Art for Sale, Search for a Job,
or Add & Update Jobs.
Exchanges typically have two levels of security: that which
is accessible to the public for browsing and searching an exchange; and that
which is accessible to a private group for adding and updating items to an
exchange. For example, a Job Exchange
might allow all visitors (the public) to search for jobs while only allowing
member employers (private group) to post jobs. Furthermore, an Art for Sale
exchange might allow all visitors (the public) to search for Art while only
allowing members (private group) to post art for sale. In such cases, separate
links directly to the Search or Update pages can be created.
First, the Administrator must determine the URL for the
target location by clicking on the Exchanges link created earlier. Then click
on the desired exchange title.
The Viewing URL
for exchange is located in the URL Address field of the browser. The Administrator
should copy this address which will be pasted into a field in the menu builder.
