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 "Write your own
scripts" on page 376.
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" on page 350.
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 the facing page and "Resources" on page 442). Once added to the content of a template, an
image can be resized (see "Styling an image" on page 281) and alternate text can be linked to
it (see "Setting an alternate text" on page 282).
Dynamic image
Images can be switched dynamically, so that a letter, email or web page can include one image
or another, depending on a value in the data set. Read "Dynamic Images" on page 346 to find
out how to add such switching images.
Background image
Several parts of templates can have a background image. See "Background color and/or
image" on page 412 and "Using a PDF file as background image" on page 359.
