# Create a quick link

You can create quick links using the quick links module in the Employee Center for accessing internal and external resources, such as knowledge bases, catalog items, pages, and links.

## Before you begin

Role required: sp\_admin, taxonomy\_manager, or taxonomy\_admin

## About this task

You can associate quick links to topics in a taxonomy or to the Employee Center and Employee Center Pro home pages. For more information, see [EC Information architecture](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/ec-information-architecture.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Employee Center** > **Quick Links**.

2.  Click **New**.

3.  On the form, fill in the fields.

    For more information about the form fields and descriptions, see [Quick Link form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/ec-quick-link-form.md).

4.  Click **Save** or **Submit**.

    **Note:** Remember, you can't add a quick link as a featured item.


## What to do next

If you click **Save**, the **Assigned Topics** and **Available For**tabs appear.

-   Assign topics to the quick links. For more information on assigning topics to a quick link, see [Assign topics to a quick link](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/assign-topics-to-quick-links.md).
-   Restrict access to quick links. For more information on restricting access to a quick link, see [Restrict access to a quick link](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/restrict-access-to-quick-links.md).

Users with the sp\_admin role can add quick links to a home page using the quick links widget instance options. For more information, see [Modify the Quick links widget display](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/config-quick-links-widget.md).

**Note:** The background image for quick link is now visible to external users.

-   **[Assign topics to a quick link](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/assign-topics-to-quick-links.md)**  
After you create a quick link, you can assign topics to the quick link. The quick link content is then displayed in the assigned topic in the Employee Center and Employee Center Pro.
-   **[Restrict access to a quick link](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/restrict-access-to-quick-links.md)**  
Restrict access to quick links by setting the user criteria, which allows access only to specific users, groups, roles, and more.
