Define a Link Label

The Link Label Data Control can be used as follows:

Display Static Text

  1. Drag the Link Label Data Control block onto the workspace.

  1. On the Properties pane for the Object, optionally give the Link Label Object a Name and Description.
  2. In the Pane field, select or add a Pane in which you want the Link Label to appear.

  3. Type the text to display into the Static label text field, and leave the Link url field blank.

  4. Optionally, de-select the check mark next to the Show border option so the text will appear without a line around it. Alternately, you can select Show as button if you want the label to appear as a button.

  5. Specify a Font size in pixels for the text.

  6. When you are done, click the Apply button.

Create a Link to a URL

  1. Drag the Link Label block onto the workspace.
  2. Type the text to display on the link into the Static label text field.
  3. Type or paste the URL for the link into the Link url field.
  4. Optionally, check the Show as button option if you want the link to display as a button with text.
  5. Specify a Font size in pixels for the text.
  6. When you are done, click the Apply button.

Display Data from Another Source

You can display data from another source as text. For example, if you connect a Page Context Data block to a Link Label Data Control block, you can choose to display the current user name; browser language; or time zone:

  1. Drag a Link Label Data Control block onto the workspace.
  2. Drag a Page Context Data block to the workspace and connect it to the Link Label Data Control block.
  3. Select the Link Label Data Control block and open the Input Bindings section in the Object pane.
  1. When you are done, click the Apply button. The current user name will display as text in the dashboard pane.

NOTE: If you have text in the Static Label Text field the dynamic content will be appended.
