Step-by-Step Instructions
Create a New DartGo Link
- In the “Custom Link Name” field, enter a word that you would like to use as the redirect name (e.g., “my-link-word” results in “dartgo.org/my-link-word” short link)
- Lower-case letters only: Only lower-case letters, numbers, '-', and '_' may be used; Please do not enter upper-case letters.
- In the “Redirect URL” field, enter the URL that you would like to redirect to (e.g., https://home.dartmouth.edu)
- Optional: Check the box for “Add Future Destination Link” if you would like to set a time and date to automatically change the redirect in the future. This option allows you to redirect the DartGo link to a second URL starting on a specific date.
- Future Redirect URL: Enter the URL that you would like the original DartGo to redirect to on the date specified below. The "http://" or "https://" part of the URL is required.
- Change Date: Set this field to the desired changeover date. On the changeover date, your original link will change to the new redirect URL.
- Optional: If you are part of a group and want to share management of the new redirect with members of that group, find and select the correct group in the “Select Ownership Group” drop-down box. If you are not a member of a group, you can create one.
- Select “Save” to create your DartGo link/QR code.
