Link Settings Dialog

When you allow contributors to create links, they are able to use a link wizard (the same one that is available in Designer) to create a link to another section, to another site, or to another file. Using this dialog, you can control what types of files (contributor data files and native documents) the contributors can link to and whether they can link to new or existing files.

Element	Description
Create new contributor data file	Allows contributors to create a contributor data file that they can link to.
Create new native document	Allows contributors to create a native document that they can link to. Document Types: Specifies which native documents contributors can create. The Additional Information button opens the Choose Document Types dialog (see Choose Document Types Dialog), where you can select the document types that are available to contributors.
Choose existing in the content server	Allows contributors to search the content server for an existing contributor data file or native document that they can link to. Query Text: Specifies the actual query that is performed in the content server to display existing files. The Additional Information button opens the Edit Query Text dialog (see Edit Query Text Dialog), which you can use to create, capture, and test the query used to display existing files. Show Results Only: Shows only the search results and not the typical content server environment. (This is useful to prevent contributors from browsing to other content in the content server.)
Browse for content locally	Allows contributors to browse for a file on their local file system that they can link to.
Remove region content association	This option is disabled when you're specifying link settings for a contributor. It is only applicable when setting contribution region options for a contributor.
Default Metadata	Opens the Enable Metadata Modification dialog (see Enable Metadata Modification Dialog), where you can specify the metadata that is available and the default metadata that is used when contributors create files.
OK	Saves your settings and closes the Link Settings dialog.
Cancel	Cancels your settings and closes the Link Settings dialog.
Help	Opens the online help for this specific dialog.
