A newer version of this fact exists. (view)
Referencing to an infoID = factlink
 

On an FCS platform, you can directly link to a fact via its infoID. This way, links will remain intact no matter where the fact is located.

When referencing a fact, you always indicate which version of the fact you want to link to by adding a version number to the infoID. If you want to link to the most current version, you need to type ".0" as a version number. Subsequently, users will automatically be directed to the most current version for which they are read-permitted. What does this mean? If versions of a fact have different read permissions, different users may  be presented with different versions as the most current one according to the read permissions.

In order to create a factlink in epoz-facttext, proceed as follows:

(1) Direct your cursor to the desired position or highlight a word.
(2) Click on the factlink button users - epoz factlink - 202282.2.


(3) Enter a keyword or the infoID of the fact you want to link to.


(4) Select the searched fact from the list of results.


(5) Now, "[factlink]" appears in the location you have chosen earlier. In the finished text view, the title of the fact will be inserted automatically.

Creating factlink in Text- oder HTML-Modus:
In order to refer to a document using an infoID, you have two possibilities in the syntax entry.
Short form:  <a href="102491.0/">[102491.0]</a>

In this case the title of the document to be referenced will be automatically displayed as a link which is „linked“ to the most recent version of the document.

Long form: <factlink 102070.43>Alte Einleitungsversion</factlink>

In this case, the title of the link is set independently from the title of the referenced document. This factlink will lead to the exact version of 43.

If you would prefer that the reference be opened in a new window, use the following syntax:

Short form: <a href="102491.0/" target="_blank">[102491.0]</a>

Long form: <factlink 102070.43 target="_blank">Alte Einleitungsversion</factlink>

What is the desired document's infoID? - In most cases you will not know the infoID of the desired document offhand. Therefore you will find on the left column next to every area for entry input, the link "search infoIDs". If you run this, a search field opens, in which you have to enter a keyword of the desired document. After clicking the "search" button, a list is displayed of all the documents available on the platform that contain your keyword (with their respective infoIDs).
