Links migration to Forms

All links created in the Links application will be migrated to the Forms application, because the Links (URL) application has been deprecated in the new UI.

The migration happens on 4th March 2023. It is one way, and it is performed automatically.

Migration of URL type folders

The created URL type folders will exist as Forms type folders, both in the new and old UI.

There will be a Forms folder for every Link folder containing one Form with all the former links in that form.

Links folder access rights are copied to Form folder access rights.

The Forms folders (migrated URL folders) will always appear to be CreatedBy the project owner, not the person who created the link item.

The created links will be transformed into forms entries within forms. They will have the following metadata:

  • Name (text)
  • Link (clickable URL text)
  • Description (text)
  • CreatedBy (email)
  • Links to and from this form entry ()

Existing links in binders will be added to the Binder sidebar > Details > Hyperlinks. For example, they will become separate link records added to the binder folder.

About old UI

Once the migration is done, the Links application will no longer be available in the 24/7 applications toolbar.

When creating a new folder in the Administration > Structure application, the option to add a URL folder will no longer be available.
