Members can set up easy-to-remember, short URLs that link to their profiles, sites, groups, docs, or posts. Once set up, the URLs all begin with “http://cuny.is/“.
Member Profile Quick Link
Quick Links for Commons Profiles are initially populated with the member’s username. However, members can edit their CV and chnage the cuny.is link to something else, as long as it is not already taken.
Once the change is made, make sure to click on Update. An error will be displayed if the link is used by anyone else.
Group Quick Links
Similarly, group admins can set up quick links for their groups. Once logged into the Commons, go to your group and click on the “Manage” tab. You will see that your quick link defaults to “group-groupName”. Just change and save.
Group quick links are displayed on the group page by clicking the link icon, highlighted below. Let your members know how easy it is to just type in “cuny.is/{mygroup}” and post a topic, add a comment, or check for new activity.
