Set up the Concierge Menu to open an External Website

Level: System Administrator

The Concierge Menu can be set up to connect your employees to their external website or web apps such as their company's corporate website, expense web app, or HR leave app.

Remember that some websites won't let you open their URL in an iframe; therefore when you open an external website, we recommend you open it in an external browser to make sure that it can open and run as expected.

Prerequisites


You will need:

  • Image - Either download an image from Concierge Menu Images Gallery OR source your own Concierge Image (Width 750px Height 836px PNG image)
  • System Administrator access to Engage Configuration settings

Set up the Menu Item to open with an External Web Broswer

Remember that the Concierge menu must have 3 menu items set up for it to work in the Engage app.  If you need to hide or delete an item then refer to Set up the Concierge Menu for 3 or more menu items.
