Hyperlinks are essential for creating interactive documents and web pages, allowing you to navigate to other documents, web pages, or specific locations within the same document with a simple click. Here’s an in-depth guide on adding different types of links:
1. Choose the Web Link option from the link type dropdown menu.
2. Enter the Display Text that will appear as the clickable link in the document. This text should be descriptive to inform the user of the link’s destination.
3. Provide the destination URL. If the link points to an exhibit page of past SEC filings.
4. Click on Check Web Link to verify that the URL is correct and accessible. This step helps avoid broken links.
5. Click "OK" to set up the web link successfully. The text you selected will now be linked to the specified web address.
Internal Link
An Internal Link allows users to navigate to different sections within the same document, enhancing document organization and user experience.
1. Choose the Internal Link option from the link type dropdown menu.
2. Select the desired
Anchor Name from the dropdown menu. The anchor name corresponds to a previously created bookmark within the document.
3. Provide the Bookmark Text for reference. This text will help identify the linked section.
4. Enter the Display Text that will appear in the document. This text should clearly indicate where the link will take the user.
5. Click "OK" to create the internal link. The selected text will now navigate to the specified section within the document.
External Link
An External Link redirects you to another HTML document, typically located in the Output folder. This feature is useful for linking related documents or resources.
1. Choose External Link from the link type dropdown menu.
2. Check the Check Exhibit to indicate that the external document will be tagged.
3. Enter the Display Text that will appear as the link in the document.
4. After generating the output, copy the .htm file name of the HTML document and enter it in the External Link bookmark ID field. Alternatively, use the Choose File option to browse and select the required HTML file from your computer.
5. Click "OK" to add the external link successfully. The selected text will now link to the specified HTML document.
Exhibit Link Directly
This option allows linking to another document before generating the output, ensuring the link remains functional even if the document name changes later.
1. Choose External Link Directly from the link type dropdown menu.
2. Check the Check Exhibit to indicate that an external document will be tagged.
3. From the dropdown menu, select the desired document to which you want to link.
4. Choose an Anchor Name from the dropdown menu to navigate precisely within the external file, if necessary. This helps in linking to specific sections within the document.
5. Click "OK" to add the link successfully. The selected text will now link directly to the chosen document.

When using the External Link option, be cautious about renaming the linked HTML document, as this can break the link. In contrast, using the Exhibit Link Directly option ensures that changes in the document's name on the Edit Workspace page won't affect the link's functionality.
