Below is an example to create a Quicklink and Quicklink Category.

Below is the code for Quicklink xml. I have copied 3 Quicklink for 3 different category
ManageContractorQuicklink.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE QuickLink PUBLIC "sailpoint.dtd" "sailpoint.dtd">
<QuickLink action="workflow" category="Custom" messageKey="Manage Contractor" name="ManageContractor">
    <Attributes>
        <Map>
            <entry key="workflowName" value="ManageContractorWF"/>
        </Map>
    </Attributes>
</QuickLink>

Manage User Data Quicklink.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE QuickLink PUBLIC "sailpoint.dtd" "sailpoint.dtd">
<QuickLink action="workflow" category="Access" messageKey="Manage User Data" name="Manage User Data">
    <Attributes>
        <Map>
            <entry key="workflowName" value="ManageUserDataWF"/>
        </Map>
    </Attributes>
</QuickLink>

GAL Update Quicklink.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE QuickLink PUBLIC "sailpoint.dtd" "sailpoint.dtd">
<QuickLink action="workflow" category="Self Service" messageKey="GAL Update" name="GAL Update">
    <Attributes>
        <Map>
            <entry key="workflowName" value="GalUpdateWF"/>
        </Map>
    </Attributes>
</QuickLink>
  1. action=“workflow” is used to launch workflow from Quicklink
    We can either create the Quicklink under existing Quicklink category or create any custom Quicklink category
Category For Quicklink under
Access Manage Access
Tasks My Tasks
Manage Manage Identity
Can be any new name given for a category like Custom or Self Service. Examples provided above.

  1. Save this Quicklink in xml format and import the same to Sailpoint.

  2. If you have created a new / Custom Quicklink category than follow the below steps

  • Go to Debug page
  • Open “SystemConfiguration” file
  • Search for “quickLinkCategories” and add a entry for your Custom Quicklink. Like below highlighted I have added 2 new categories “Custom” and “Self Service”

SystemConfiguration

<entry key="quickLinkCategories">
    <value>
        <List>
            <QuickLinkCategory cssClass="quickLinkCategoryTasks" messageKey="quicklink_category_all_tasks" name="Tasks" ordering="1"/>
            <QuickLinkCategory cssClass="quickLinkCategoryAccess" messageKey="quicklink_category_access" name="Access" ordering="2"/>
            <QuickLinkCategory cssClass="quickLinkCategoryManage" messageKey="quicklink_category_manage" name="Manage" ordering="3"/>
            <QuickLinkCategory cssClass="quickLinkCategoryCustom" enabled="true" messageKey="quicklink_category_custom" name="Custom" ordering="4"/>
            <QuickLinkCategory cssClass="quickLinkCategoryCustom" enabled="true" messageKey="Self Service" name="Self Service" ordering="5"/>
