Sim Links are short names for pages your team opens often, like sim/handbook or sim/okta. Every member of your organization can use them, with or without a Search seat.
Open Sim Links in the organization sidebar to see your organization's links. Search by name, destination, or description, or use Sort → Opens to see the most used links.
Open a link
Go to https://www.sim.ai/sim/<name>, for example https://www.sim.ai/sim/handbook. On a self-hosted deployment, use your Sim address. If you aren't signed in, Sim asks you to sign in first.
Names ignore case and punctuation, so sim/Team-Handbook and sim/teamhandbook open the same link. If a link doesn't exist yet, Sim offers to create it.
Open links from the address bar
Add Sim as a Chrome site search shortcut to type sim handbook instead:
- Open Chrome Settings → Search engine → Manage search engines and site search.
- Next to Site search, select Add.
- Enter
Simas the name,simas the shortcut, andhttps://www.sim.ai/sim/%sas the URL.
Type sim, press Space, then type a link name and press Enter. Chrome administrators can add the shortcut for everyone with the SiteSearchSettings policy.
Create a link
- Open Sim Links and select New link.
- Enter the Destination URL and a Name. Names use letters, numbers, and
. : @ & ~ - _; spaces become hyphens as you type. - Optionally add a Description, then select Create.
To share a link, right-click it and select Copy link.
Add values to a link
Anything after the name is added to the destination: if sim/docs opens https://docs.example.com, then sim/docs/billing opens https://docs.example.com/billing.
To place a value elsewhere, put {*} in the destination URL:
Values fill each {*} in order, and the last {*} takes the rest. A link with {*} can set a Default destination on the same site for when no value is given. {*} can't replace the domain.
Control access
By default, any member can edit or delete a link. The link's creator and organization admins can change two options under Access:
- Hide from the Sim Links page: only the creator and admins see the link in the list, marked Unlisted. Anyone with the name can still open it.
- Only you and admins can edit: only the creator and admins can edit or delete the link, marked Restricted.
Changes to links are recorded in your organization's audit logs.
