Subject:Where do you place the Glossary hyperlink? From:John Posada <jposada01 -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 23 Aug 2005 14:08:02 -0700 (PDT)
I have a step in a process:
--------
Subject Population is Staged
The Employee Import and Employee Purge functional areas of the XXX
utilize YYY to process employees via the AON_CPF_Dispatcher to
determine Subject Population.
-------
The term "Subject Population" is hyperlinked to the term in the
Glossary. Do you hyperlink the term in the header or in the body? My
instinct is to use the term in the body and if the term shows up more
than once in the paragraph, I only hyperlink only the first instance
in the body. Does anyone strongly agree or disagree?
If you don't mind, I'd rather focus on the question and not get into
a discussion on whether I should be using "utilize" and "via"
