Hyperlinks
FlexPro allows you to link objects using hyperlinks. A hyperlink is displayed as a highlighted section of text. If you click on the hyperlink, the event occurs that is associated with that hyperlink:
Type of Hyperlink |
Action |
---|---|
Hyperlink to a FlexPro object in the project database |
The object is opened. |
Hyperlink to a file on the disk or on the network |
The file is opened by the program associated with that file type. |
Hyperlink to a Website |
The page is displayed in the web browser. |
A hyperlink that sends an e-mail |
A blank e-mail to the specified address is provided. |
Hyperlinks can be inserted anywhere that you can have labels, such as the axis label for a diagram, the title of a table or in a text field in a document. Currently, hyperlinks cannot be used in text objects. When exporting to HTML, these hyperlinks are converted into HTML and remain active.
In addition to the hyperlinks in labels, you can specify a hyperlink in the General tab of the Properties dialog box of any FlexPro object. This hyperlink is generally used as a reference to documentation of the object. When exporting to HTML format, these hyperlinks are incorporated into the heading of the HTML page.
