Adding Hyperlinks

Also see Adding Attachments (Images and Picture)

DICS offers users the facility to add hyperlinks (such as e-mail and web addresses) to your risk assessment.

Hyperlinks provide single-click access to Web pages through a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) or to files through a name in UNC (universal naming convention) format.

Used for storing links to files on:

•your computer (a file name);

•a network (a UNC name);

•the internet (a URL address).

A hyperlink entry contains three parts separated by hash signs (#). The template is:

display text # file name # any reference within the file

Clicking the the Image button across the top of any of DICS's risk modules will will up the Image and Hyper-link form.

Some examples may help show how this works:

Hyperlink Contents	Displays	When Clicked
My Photo #C:\MyPic\pic.bmp#	My photo	Loads picture into graphics package
SS DICS#DICS.xls#Sheet 1!C7	SS DICS	Loads spreadsheet into Excel, selecting cell C7.
Do DICS#\\bgw\pub\DICS.doc#	Do DICS	Loads the network document into word processor.
HSE#http://www.hse.gov.uk#	HSE	Loads your web browser and opens the URL.
#www.onsafelines.com#	www.onsafelines.com	Loads your web browser, assuming prefix of "http://".

To add links click on the Open Link Manager button

Select the type of link to create, file, web-page, email address etc

In the example below you can see the hyperlink description is different to the link address
