The system specialist can create information links, e‑mail links, and link tags for the database. An information link is a link to a file, or to a URL. An information link appears in Information Links on the home page, in Links➛Database Info Links in books, maps, and views, and from the Links menu in measure and location boxes in a view. Only the system specialist can add and remove information links.
An e-mail link is a link that launches an e-mail to the address specified in the link. An e‑mail link appears in the E‑mail menu in books, maps, and views. An e-mail link becomes active when a measure and location pair is selected.
A link tag is a user-defined variable that passes information to a link when the link is opened. A link tag is specified in a book, database, location, measure, or user. For more information about the syntax of link tags, see Publishing data.
