Cascade Server automatically hyperlinks URLs (website addresses) when they are entered into the editor. To hyperlink specific text, select the text and click the Insert/Edit Link button.

The Insert/Edit Link dialog box will display. The first link highlighted in the screenshot is used when you want to insert a new link. The second icon is used when you want to remove a link that already exists in the content.
 



  • Internal (link to any page within any site in Cascade Server) or External (link to a page or site not in Cascade Server). Typically, links to another page within the USD website will be Internal links. Whenever possible, use the Internal Link function to help prevent broken links if a page within the Cascade Server is moved to another location. Internal links are critical for our web functionality. Workflows submitted with links that could be internal which aren't will be returned for editing.
  • For an Internal link, click Search to search for an asset or click the Browse button to move throughout the file system to select the page for the hyperlink.
  • For External link, enter the full URL (address) of the page you want to use for the hyperlink. Be sure to include http:// or https:// before the website address or the link will be broken. For accuracy a preferred approach is to first visit the link in a separate browser window and then copy and paste it into the link field.
  • You can set the hyperlink to open in a new window by choosing New Window from the Target menu. In most cases, you should leave the Target set to None to open the link in the same browser tab.

When browsing the Cascade Server system, the starting point is the current location.



If you needed to use or reference an asset on a different site, click the Browse button, then use the Site Selector to locate the desired site. Navigate to the asset you want to hyperlink to and click on it in the Slider Pane to select it. Click Choose to confirm your selection and return to the Insert/Edit Link dialog.

Leave the Title field blank and the selection on the Class menu and click Insert to create the hyperlink" to " Leave the Title field blank and the Class field as "None", and click the OK button to create the hyperlink.

For more specific directions on how to create a reference or link to another asset, see the How to Select a Placement Folder guide.
 



Anchors

Anchors can be used to link to specific locations within the body of the page and can be especially helpful when there is a great deal of content on one page. Use Anchors when you have a lot of content on a page and would like the visitors to be able to skip to certain sections of content without having to scroll down and search for it.

  1. To add an anchor to a page, first place your cursor at the location on the page where you would like to place the anchor and then click the Anchor icon. The Insert/Edit Anchor dialog displays.

  2. Enter the Anchor Name in the text box and click Insert to add the anchor. Remember to use good naming conventions for anchors, too. No spaces or special characters should be used.
