ADMINISTRATOR: Adding hyperlinks to Support Docs

You can add hyperlinks across your site to any Support Documents you have uploaded for your users.

This is helpful if, for example, you have a form you wish to add to a Portfolio section for your doctors to fill in and then upload again as evidence (e.g., a Declaration of Interests form). You can upload the form as a Support Document first. Once it has been uploaded, it will generate its own 'permalink' which you can use to link directly to the file within an area of the Portfolio, Appraisal, etc. More can be read about this here.

To add a Hyperlink to the file, you will need to use some basic internet coding or Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).

So using the example of adding a link to a Declaration of Interests form for your users, you would first need to ensure you have uploaded it to your Support Docs page.

Once it has been uploaded to your Support Docs, you can copy the permalink by going to the Support Docs page and clicking on the eye icon next to the Support Doc to view the details, where you will find the permalink as seen below:

You will need to copy the permalink, and then go to the Portfolio section (category) you wish to link the file to.

So the full guidance text with the HTML would look like this:

Then press Save to save your text, and it would appear to your users like this:

"Please download the Declaration of Interests form, fill it in and upload your completed form back to this section."

When the user clicks on the highlighted text, it will open the Support Doc that you have added the link to.
