Helpful Links

Helpful Links is the centralized resource directory in Stix and Brix. Instead of bookmarking dozens of URLs or searching through emails for that one link, Helpful Links puts all your company tools and resources in a single, organized location.

  1. Click Helpful Links on the Home screen
  2. Browse links organized by category
  3. Click any link to open it in a new tab
Helpful Links page showing category sections with link cards/tiles

Links are organized into categories that your administrators define. Common categories include:

Category Typical Resources
Human Resources BambooHR, benefits portals (Bennie), retirement plans (Voya), culture tools
Finance Links NetSuite, expense management (Ramp Card), employee store
Sales Salesforce, proposal tools (Proposify), lead generation (Revvnue)
Production NSPEC, standards documentation, training platforms (NTRAIN), cloud storage (Egnyte)
Approved Hardware Recommended monitors, docking stations, keyboards, and other equipment
General Anonymous suggestion box, general company resources

Note: The specific categories and links you see depend on how your organization has configured Stix and Brix. Your administrators can add, remove, and reorder categories at any time.

Each link displays:

  • Icon — A visual indicator for quick recognition (e.g., a globe icon for web tools, a credit card for finance)
  • Title — The name of the resource
  • Description — Optional details about what the resource is for

Clicking a link opens the resource in a new browser tab, keeping Stix and Brix open in the background.

Administrators can manage the entire Helpful Links directory from the Helpful Links Admin section.

Managing Categories

  1. Navigate to Helpful Links Admin
  2. Click Categories to manage category groups
  3. Add a new category with a name and optional description
  4. Reorder categories using drag and drop
  5. Edit or Delete existing categories
  1. Navigate to Helpful Links Admin
  2. Click Links, then click Add Link
  3. Fill in the fields:
Field Description Required
Title Display name for the link Yes
URL The web address to open when clicked Yes
Category Which category group the link belongs to Yes
Icon Visual icon to display (e.g., globe, credit-card, users, heart) No
Description Optional text explaining what the link is for No
Add Link form showing Title, URL, Category, Icon, and Description fields
  1. Click Save to add the link

Within each category, links can be reordered using drag and drop in the admin view. Place the most-used links at the top so employees can find them first.

  1. Navigate to Helpful Links Admin > Links
  2. Find the link you want to modify
  3. Click Edit to update or Delete to remove

Best Practices

  • Keep links current — Review links periodically and remove outdated resources
  • Use clear titles — "BambooHR" is better than "HR System Login Page"
  • Choose meaningful icons — Icons help employees scan and find links at a glance
  • Organize logically — Group related tools together so employees know where to look
  • Put popular links first — Reorder categories and links so the most-used ones are at the top
