| As a Frog Admin, you can not only customise your own Quick Launch menu, but add and remove icons for all other users Quick Launch menus. |
| Quick Launch Categories |
Icons that appear in Quick Launch menus each have a category.
The categories are… |
- Protected – These icons are permanent and cannot be removed.
- Global – These icons appear for all users (teachers, students and parents) and cannot be removed by them.
- Personal – These icons can be edited (added or removed) by any user to suit their own needs.
|
| Important: Global icons are managed by you, the Frog Admin. Other than protected icons, all other icons are set to global by default and, unless you set an icon to personal, cannot be edited by other users. If it is decided that users should have the ability to remove icons from their Quick Launch menu, then you will need to set those icons to personal. |
| To start editing the Quick Launch menu, click on the edit (pencil) icon. |
 |
How to Add an App to other user’s Quick Launch Menu (Global)
|
| All users of the Frog VLE can customise their own Quick Launch menu by adding or removing the icons that appear there. |
| You may find that there are certain icons that you may want to appear in all users Quick Launch menus. When a Frog Admin adds an icon to all users Quick Launch menus, it is defined as global and cannot be removed by them. |
| Click on the Plus Sign icon to launch the Quick Launch editor. |
 |
| Select the Apps tab. |
 |
| Select the Application you wish to add. |
 |
| Click on the Add for Everyone to place a tick in the box. (You may need to scroll down to find this option) |
 |
| Click on Save Changes. |
 |
| Now that you have added this app…. |
- If a user had removed the app from their Quick Launch menu it will now be added back in.
- Users will no longer be able to remove that icon from their Quick Launch menu.
|
| Note: An icon will be added only if that user has access to that app. Only apps associated with that user group will be added to that users Quick Launch menu. For example, adding the Community application will only result in it being added to all teacher’s Quick Launch menus and not students as students do not have access to that app. |
How to Add a Web link to other users Quick Launch Menu (Global)
|
| It is possible to create additional icons, such as links to external website, and force them into all users Quick Launch menus. When a Frog Admin adds an icon to all users Quick Launch menus, it is defined as global and cannot be removed by them. |
| Click on the Plus sign to launch the Quick Launch editor. |
| |
| In the Name box, enter a name for the new icon. This will appear underneath the icon in the Quick Launch menu so it is best to keep this short. |
 |
| Enter the website address in the Link box. |
| Tip: To ensure the address is correct, open the website in a separate tab in your browser and then copy and paste the URL from the address bar. |
 |
| Next, you must choose an icon for your link. You can either select one of the standard icons or create one of your own icons. |
| To use one of the standard icons simply click on one from those displayed. |
 |
| To use your own image as an icon, click on the Upload button to use a file from your computer or the Import button to use a file stored in FrogDrive. |
 |
| Click on Add for Everyone to place a tick in the box. |
 |
| Click on Save Changes. |
 |
| Now that you have added this link…. |
- The new icon will be placed in all users Quick Launch menu.
- Users will not be able to remove that icon from their Quick Launch menu.
|
How to Allow Users to Remove an Icon from their Quick Launch Menu (Personal)
|
| It is possible to allow users to remove an icon that has previously been added by the Frog Admin. Following this process will define the icon as personal. |
| Click on the Plus sign to launch the Quick Launch editor. |
| |
| Locate the existing Web link or App by selecting the appropriate tab. |
 |
| Select the existing App or Web link. |
| |
