A link is a shortcut to a web page outside Bower. It sits in your workspace or in a collection like any other item, so the Prism Cloud project, vendor page, or shared drive folder behind an experiment lives next to the notes and data it belongs with. Any web address that starts with http:// or https:// works. The most common use is a GraphPad Prism Cloud project.
1

Open the Create menu

Click Create (the + button) and choose Link. Inside a collection, you can also use the collection’s Add button and choose Link.
2

Paste the web address

Bower looks up the page’s title and icon and fills them in. If you’ve already typed a title, Bower leaves it alone.
3

Check the title and icon

Edit the title if it isn’t what your team will search for. For the icon, choose Site icon (the website’s own icon) or Bower icon (the default link icon).
If the page has no title Bower can read, the title becomes the site’s address, for example app.graphpad.com. Rename the link to something more useful. Bower only accepts addresses that start with http:// or https://. It refuses an address with a username or password written into it. Open a link the way you open anything else: click or double-click it in the workspace, or pick it from the page tree, search, or a link Bower mentions in chat. The page opens in a new browser tab, and Bower stays where you were. Links show an open-in-new-tab mark, so you can tell them apart from items that open inside Bower. Right-click a link and choose Edit link to change its web address, title, or icon. Click Refresh from page to fetch the title and icon again, for example after the page has changed. Everything else works as it does for other items. You can rename, move, copy, favorite, and share a link with the usual access controls, or move it to Trash. See Organizing your workspace for the details. To see only your links, choose Links in the workspace Type filter.

Prism Cloud

To save a Prism Cloud project, open it in GraphPad, copy the address from your browser’s address bar (it starts with https://app.graphpad.com/), and paste it into a new link.
  • The title shows app.graphpad.com. Prism Cloud projects sit behind the GraphPad sign-in, so Bower can’t see the project’s name. Bower uses the site’s address instead.
  • You need to be signed in to GraphPad. The link opens the project in your browser, so sign in to GraphPad there first. Bower never signs in for you and never reads the project.
Rename each Prism Cloud link after you add it, for example Dose response, ELISA plate 3, so you and your team can find it in search.

​
Asking Bower

Bower can add links and change a link’s address or title for you. For example:
“Save this Prism project link to my Assays collection.”
