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:
