All about Shortcut URLs

Shortcut URLs are useful for marketing and publicity purposes, but the initial process needs a bit more thought, and not all shortcut URLs are necessary nor appropriate.

Some things to think about when requesting shortcut URLs:

• Ensure the shortcut URL does not already exist, albeit in similar wording.
• That it applies to a site and not an individual page or document.
• It affects a broad intended audience.
• Whether it will also be used in offline publicity material.
• Duration of the requested change.

All requests should be logged with Service Desk (ithelp@le.ac.uk) in the first instance.

Please read our one page guide on shortcut URLs, outlining the process in a bit more detail, before you log any requests.
