1.     Create a custom list using the following fields: Category (Text), Sub Category (Text) and reference (Hyperlink)

2.     Add some categories and links.  I use Sub Categories to differentiate links and to bunch common types of links together (i.e. Help (Category) – SharePoint (Sub-Category) link name (Hyperlink)

3.     Create a Quick Links view -

a.      Name - Quick Links

b.     Columns – Category, Sub Category, Reference, Edit (link to edit items)

c.      Sort – Sub Category, Reference

d.     Group By – Category, Collapsed

e.      Click on OK.

4.     Then add the Quick Links web part to your home page, and launch FrontPage 2003.

5.     Right click on the Quick Links web part, and select List View Properties.

6.     Under Manage view settings change the following:

• Fields – Sub Category and Reference
• Style, Options Tab – Uncheck Show Toolbar with options for:
• Sort & Group – Category
  
  

7.     Right click on the Quick Links web part and select Convert to XSLT Data View

8.     Under Manage view settings change the following:

·       Sort & Group – Category

9.     Converting to XSLT Data View allows you to move items to any cell you want.

10.  I modify the following:

·       Delete Category: next to the plus sign

·       Change the cell color from gray to white

·       Change the color of the Category name next to the plus sign

·       Change the color of the Sub Category name

·       Delete the column names and cell under the Quick Links bar

11.  Save the page and test.
