Board Book Links
Board Book Links allow administrators to add links within a meeting Board Book to provide quick access to related content and external resources.
Links can point to:
External websites (URLs)
Other Board Books
Previous meetings
Documents stored in the References section in BoardWorks
These links are accessible to users when they view the meeting in BoardWorks, regardless of which supported application they are using.
Adding links to a Board Book
Links are added directly to a meeting using the Actions menu.
To add a link:
Navigate to the meeting.
Open the Actions menu.
Select the option to add a link.
Choose the destination type, such as an external URL, another Board Book, a previous meeting, or a reference document.
Save the link.
Once added, the link becomes part of the meeting Board Book and is available to users with access to the meeting.
To add a link, highlight the text in the Board Book where the link should appear, then select Link to associate the text with the external content.
This opens a menu where you can specify the external content to link to, such as an external website, another Board Book, a previous meeting, or a reference document.
