Managing links out from a Group Object

The ‘Links Out’ tab enables you to control which ‘internal’ objects can link out from the group and which Linking Method is to be used. In this way you can manage how Entities are routed on to other objects after visiting the Group Object.

Note: For full details of the different linking methods available, see Linking methods .

To define links out from the Group Object:

Open the Group Object dialog box by double clicking on the object in the Object Directory or right-clicking in the workspace and selecting Edit > Group Object <name>.
Click the ‘Links Out’ tab.
Select the objects you want to link from the group by moving them from the ‘Available’ pane into the ‘Selected’ pane using the selection buttons >, >>, <, <<.
Select one of the four available linking methods:
- Link by percentage weighting
- Link by entity type
- Link by entity choice
- Link by Final Destination
To add links at this stage, click the Add Link button.
The ‘Select Target Objects’ dialog is displayed, with a tree listing all objects that are available for linking to.
Select one or more target objects from the tree structure and click OK.
Adjust link parameters according to the method selected: Link, as described in Linking methods .
- by percentage weighting–adjust percentages per target .
- by entity type–you will need to select a different Entity Type for each target selected.
- by entity choice–edit.
- by final destination–edit.
Click OK to save your changes.

Further details about adding, deleting and copying links can be found in Link operations.
