Adding a Reference to a Package

If you specify Reference as the item type on the Specify Item to Insert window, some additional fields appear in the Specify Item to Insert window.

1. In the Reference Type panel, indicate whether the reference type is a URL or HTML.

2. You can specify the reference in either of two ways:
   • Enter a prefix and a name directly in the field to the right of the Select Reference to Publish button.

     The following prefixes are acceptible:

        http:// 
        ftp:// 
        file:/// 
     

     For instance, a typical URL specification is

        http://www.mycorp.com/chart.html
     

     As an alternative, you can specify a URL that is relative to a base URL location. For example, if the base URL is www.mycorp.com, then the relative URL ./news/article.html locates article.html in the news subdirectory, which is relative to the base URL.

   • Click the Select Reference to Publish button, which displays the Open window. This window lets you navigate a directory structure so that you can locate and select the item that you want to include in the package.

     Select a URL and click OK. Focus returns to the Specify Item to Insert window, where the reference address appears automatically in the Select Reference to Publish field.

3. Optionally, specify a description and a name/value pair. For details, see Adding an Item (Specify Item to Insert).
