Our Quick Links block looks like a dynamic list block, but it’s actually a super convenient way to show a polished grid of tiles to act as links to other pages in your app or even external URLs. Here’s when it might make sense to use the Quick Links block:
Showing a list of most commonly accessed forms in your Softr app
Providing users quick access to a list of external tools or sites.
Displaying a customized list of links to other pages based on User Group.
Showcasing a list of static features, icons, or images - maybe you don’t need to link to anything!
Access the main features and settings of the Quick Links block by clicking on the block and selecting the Content tab.
Title and Subtitle: Toggle this on to add a Title and Subtitle to the block to explain what the quick links are about or how and when a user should use them.
Layout: Choose between horizontally oriented cards or vertically oriented cards. Here you can also control the card width, the card’s content alignment, whether to use icons or images, the label/icon position, whether to show or hide the arrow guidance icons, and other options.
Links: Here you can add or remove links and customize their name, their icon/image, and change where they link to and how the link should be opened.
Embed: Once you have published your application, you can get an embed code to embed just the Quick Links block in another website or application. Note that if the block is behind a user group or login, it may not be visible. If you plan to Embed the block, make sure it’s publicly accessible.
In this tab, you can edit the overall styling of the Quick Links such as rounding, card colors, title and subtitle fonts/colors, and more. Note that much of the styling is inherited from the app theme itself.
