Make an Image a Clickable Link

You can make your images clickable so that when the interview user clicks the image, the web page at the URL you have specified will open.

To make your image into a clickable link:

  1. Select the image in the screen list or the screen layout view.
  2. Click the Edit Image button.

    Edit Image dialog box in Policy Modeling
  3. In the Link Address field, enter a URL. For example, http://www.myhomepage.com.
  4. (Optional) Select the option to have the link open in the current window (by default, links are opened in a new window).

Tip: You may also wish to add a label above or below the image on the interview screen, to alert the interview user to the link and to give them more information about where they will go when they click it.

Link addresses

Links to external URLs must be fully qualified. In other words, they must commence with http://.

Links to URLs starting with "/" or "." will be treated as relative to the application.

Non-Boolean attribute text substitution is supported in the Link Address for the image. This enables you to use the value of a non-Boolean attribute as part of the URL. For example, you could use a link address of http://www.myhomepage.com/%home_country%/ where the attribute 'the applicant's home country' has an attribute name of 'home_country'. If, during the interview, the interview user selects 'Argentina' as the home county, the image link would point to http://www.myhomepage.com/Argentina/.
