Custom Links - allow variables to launch a different URL depending on the screen you are on

Michael Gerrard

Next to the logo, on the top bar, you can have a custom link, as explained here

https://help.board.com/docs/appearance

We have this pointing to a single page on our intranet. We call this button "Support". The user can click it to get to the intranet support page on our Board application.

To provide a more context based approach, for the custom link, allow a variable inside it. For example, the link could be to the intranet, but the last part could be a variable for the screen name/title. Therefore, when the user is on a particular screen and they click Support (the custom link button), it will show that particular intranet page. It would therefore be context specific, providing guidance to the user based on where they are in the Board application.
