Client Library Links
Client Library Links are references to pages on external websites (e.g. FindLaw, the Ohio State Bar Association, etc.) . Like Client Library Documents, they appear on the "Self-Help Materials" tab in the Client Information section.
Client Library Links may be associated with multiple sub-topics in the Client Information section, however you should determine what sub-topic is most pertinent to the link in order to add it to the most appropriate folder.
To modify an existing Client Library Link:
- Click on the link title in the Contents page.
- Click on the Edit tab in the management frame.
- Modify the Link metadata, including Title, Abstract, Document Grouping Options, etc. as desired. (Further information on these fields are provided in the Notes below.)
- Click Save at the bottom of the screeen.
To add a new Client Library Link into a topic sub-folder:
- From the Contents view, click on the "Add Item" drop-down menu in the management frame.
- Select "client library link"
- Fill in the fields appropriately. (Further information on these fields are provided in the Notes below.)
- Click Save.
Notes on Client Library Links:
- The system is designed to present external pages to the user in a new browser window. Depending on the user's browser configuration, these pages may appear in separate "tabs."
