Working With Links

To create a link in Modern Campus CMS:

Select the text to link and click on the link editor icon (looks like a chain)
Enter the URL or navigate to the page in Modern Campus by clicking on the folder icon. If you are linking an email address, type in the URL box: mailto:address@harpercollege.edu (where "address@harpercollege.edu" is replaced with the recipient's email address.)
If you want to the link to open in a new window, choose "New Window" for Target. This is not recommended in most cases because it can impact tracking in Google Analytics.
Do not include a Title for the link unless the link text you are using is not sufficiently descriptive.
Click OK. The link should appear in the OU editor with link styling.

Link tips

Avoid vague link text like "click here" or "learn more". The link text should clearly describe or indicate what it links to. Often, the title of the destination page makes the best link text.
Do not include ending punctuation (such as a period) in a link, unless the whole sentence is linked.
Avoid linking to a redirecting URL.
Test your links after saving the page.
