Dynamically inserting or modifying a hyperlink
You may wish to adjust a hyperlink depending on a value in a record that is merged to the
template when generating output, for example, to provide a different mailto link for different
customers.
How to add or modify a hyperlink is described in a how-to; see How to dynamically insert a
hyperlink. This implies writing a script. For information about scripts, see "Writing your own
scripts" on page221.
Adding a personalized link
Personalized URLs (pURLs) are links that are tailor-made for a specific purpose, generally for
individual clients. Typically, a pURL in a Connect template takes the user to a personalized
landing page, for example, to download an invoice or get access to specific products or
services. For more information, see Personalized URL.
Images
Images are a powerful ingredient in all of your templates. This topic explains how to add and
use them.
Ways to use images
In templates, both imported images and external images can be used (see "Adding images"
on page158 and "Resources" on page43). Once added to the content of a template, an image
can be resized (see "Images" above) and alternate text can be linked to it (see "Setting an
alternate text" on page160).
Dynamic images
Images can be switched dynamically, so that a letteror email can include one image or another,
depending on a value in the data set. Read "Dynamic Images" on page220 to find out how to
add such switching images.
