Hyperlinks in Inquiry Help Screens

Two types of hyperlink are used in the Inquiry Help:

Text links are 'clickable' pieces of text which link to related information. Common text links are:

Links to help about screens These may be links using the screen's name (e.g. Person Address Inquiry screen) or the screens ID code (e.g. INQF1110).

Links to more detailed information Individual pieces of text, pictures or parts of pictures may contain links to more information. Text containing hyperlinks is generally a different colour to surrounding text and underlined (e.g. the words 'navigation map' in the following paragraph). Pictures containing hyperlinks cause the cursor to change to a different shape when it passes over the hyperlink's location.

Graphic links are 'clickable' pictures. Different areas of the picture (hotspots) may link to different destinations. When the cursor is passed over a hotspot, the cursor changes to indicate that clicking there will activate a link. The Inquiry help navigation map is a typical example of a 'clickable' picture.
