Create a link on the user interface

  1. On the Alfabet user interface, go to the data workbench you added for the object class ALFA_EXTERNAL_LINK.
  2. In the toolbar, click New > Create.
  3. Define the attributes and click OK:
    • Name: The name is used in the data workbench and in Alfabet Expand to identify the link object.
    • Link: Enter the link target. A URL must start with http or https . Email addresses must be entered as mailto:email address.
    • Description: You can optionally add a comment about the purpose of the definition.
  4. Optionally, click the empty space in the field displaying the link target. In the Title field, define the text to be displayed in data workbenches and reports about the external URL instead of the link target. The title is not used in the left-side navigation panel. The caption displayed there is defined in the user profile menu definition in Alfabet Expand.
