To Add a Hyperlink to an Announcement

You can include hyperlinks in an ALIM Web announcement, to direct users to additional information.

Defining the hyperlink consists of two components: The hyperlink text, and the hyperlink URL (for example, a website, document, or email address).

Follow these steps to add a hyperlink to an announcement.

Edit the announcement to which you want to add a hyperlink.
Position your cursor where you would like to add the hyperlink, and then do the following:
1. Enter the text hyperlink text surrounded by round brackets.
2. Enter the hyperlink URL, surrounded by square brackets. For example, entering [] creates a hyperlink to the Bentley.com website.
For example, if you want the text to display a hyperlink for "Bentley", and thus direct the user to "https://www.bentley.com", enter the following:
(Bentley)[https://www.bentley.com]

If you want the hyperlink to invoke your default email application to start an email addressed to Jane Doe with an email address of jane.doe@acme.com for example, enter the following:

(Jane Doe)[mailto:jane.doe@acme.com]

Important: Ensure that there are no spaces between the hyperlink text and URL components.
When you are finished editing the announcement, click Save.

The hyperlink appears on the announcement.
