# Quick Links

### What are Quick Links?

A common need when working compliance cases is to quickly jump between different tools, CRMs, platforms, etc. To ease this need, we’ve introduced a no-code feature called “Quick Links” that enables your organization to create lightweight shortcuts to the tools you use daily, whether internal or external to Hummingbird’s platform.

### What are some examples of Quick Links?

Below are a few scenarios where you may want to use Quick Links. Of course, every organization will have a different use case; these serve only as examples. 

**Example 1:** You want to link out to a Google search, which queries for a person’s name followed by the keyword “fraud” to check if they have been involved in any fraudulent activities. Example:

* If the person’s name is “Smaug the Dragon,” then;
* The link would be <https://www.google.com/search?q=Smaug+the+Dragon+fraud>

**Example 2:** You want to link to your internal tool, which opens a person’s profile in your admin interface. You could use the person’s external\_id as the resource slug. Example:

* If the person’s external\_id is “ABC-123”, then;
* The link would be <https://charming.fish/admin/persons/ABC-123>

**Example 3:** You want to link out to an internal search portal. Example:

* <https://internal-search-portal.io>

### Where does a Quick Link show up?

When you open up a Person profile (e.g., John Doe Smith) and you will see your Quick Links populated on the right-hand side.&#x20;

However, if you open up a Subject in the Case view you will see your Quick Links populated on the left-hand side.&#x20;

### Will the link open a new browser?

A new browser will open when you click a Quick Link. You can take a screenshot of the search results and drag and drop it into Hummingbird to add to your case.

### How do I create and enable a new Quick Link?

If you have any interest in adding a new Quick Link, please reach out to your Hummingbird representative or email <support@hummingbird.co>. We will work with you to configure your custom QuickLink.
