Authoring Links
Authoring links are hyperlinks created by authors in source documents. These links may point to documents in the DMS or file system. These links may also go to versions, pages, and bookmarks, or may be comments that indicate to the publisher how the link should be created. Authoring links may be reused freely, and will automatically persist in new versions of modified documents within a source DMS repository or file system.
You can create authoring links in most content-editing software (such as Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat) as long as they are relative paths to target documents. While creating authoring links:
- You can use tools such as Microsoft Word and Linking add-in (Word) to generate both in-document links and cross-document links.
- Calyx RIM can interpret and understand links embedded in a document that point to other areas of the same document as well as links that point to other documents.
- Links may be targeted across servers and file shares, and DMS repositories of the same or different types.
- Links may target documents, specific page numbers within documents, and in the case of and Linking add-in (Word), they may target bookmarks or headings within documents.
- Links may target specific versions of documents, or by default the current (latest) version.
- Links may also consist of just a comment that indicates where the link should eventually be targeted.
