Adding or editing a link anchor

You can add or edit a link anchor by using the Link Anchor Properties editor to hide the link indicator, disable it for table rows that do not meet the link criteria, and to assign a different default link or no default link.

About this task

When you have a link that originates from a table row or a graphic view icon, a link indicator is displayed: Click to open the default link or to see and select from a list of possible links.

1. Open the workspace where the link originates (source workspace).
2. Right-click a table row or the graphic view icon where you originated the link.
3. Click Link Anchor.
4. In the Link Anchor Properties editor, select a default link from the list or select (No Default).
   When you select the option to show the link indicator (next step), you can click the indicator to go directly to the default linked workspace or, if no default link was assigned, to see and select from the list of available links.
5. Clear Show Link Indicator if you want no link indicator in the first column of the table or overlaying the graphic view icon.
   If you disable the indicator, users can still link to the target workspace by right-clicking a table row or the linked graphic view icon.
6. Clear Link Indicator Always Enabled only if this is an advanced link from a table, with filtering, and you want to enable the indicator only for rows where the link is available.
   An example would be a link that is not available for the Idle process. The link indicator in this row would be dimmed to show that it was disabled.
7. Click OK to close the window, then click Save to save your changes to the workspace.
