| <div class="nested0" id="addareferenceorhyperlink"><a name="addareferenceorhyperlink"><!-- --></a><h1 class="topictitle1">Add a Reference or Hyperlink</h1> |
| <div><p>You can add two types of references or hyperlinks to your content text: |
| references to other elements in the method library or references to external |
| text with a URL that resides outside the method library.</p> |
| <p>Text fields that support hyperlinks have a twisty symbol <img src="twisty symbol1.JPG" alt="" /> next to the text field's label. Click the symbol to expand |
| the field into a full text editor. </p> |
| <p>To insert a hyperlink to another element in the method library into a text |
| field, locate the element you want to create a link to in the library or configuration |
| view and then drag it into the appropriate text field, The link to the element |
| is added as a method element with type prefix, meaning that the method element |
| name is prefixed with the method element type. You can also drag a method |
| element into an unexpanded text field that supports hyperlinks with the same |
| result.</p> |
| <div class="p">You can use the Add Link function in the rich text editor to add links |
| that are references to other method elements or links to files or Web pages. |
| This gives you further options in how your links are displayed.<ol><li>In the text editor, position the cursor where you want to insert the link |
| and then click the <strong>Add Link</strong> button <img src="addlink_co.gif" alt="" /> in the tool bar. The Add Link dialog opens.</li> |
| <li>Click the <strong>Browse</strong> button to locate and select the element you wish |
| to create a link to. There are several options for creating links to other |
| content elements, with each option offering a different way for displaying |
| the link's name:<ul><li>Method element: the link displays the element name.</li> |
| <li>Method with type prefix: the link displays the element name and type.</li> |
| <li>Method element with custom text: the link displays user defined text. |
| To define this text manipulate the text in between the <a></a< |
| tags in the URL text field one you have selected an element using the <strong>Browse</strong> button.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>To insert a hyperlink to an external URL, select URL from the Type drop |
| down list, type the URL details in the URL field, and then click <strong>OK</strong>.</li> |
| <li>To insert a hyperlink to a file, in the Type drop down list, click <strong>File</strong>, |
| enter the file name or browse to find the file, and then click <strong>OK</strong>. |

| browser window or in a new window.</li> |
