Adding a URL to a Package

1. If you specify URL as the item type on the Specify Item to Insert window, you can specify a URL in either of two ways:
   • Enter a prefix and a name of the URL directly in the field to the right of the Select URL to Publish button.

     Acceptable prefixes are

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

     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 subdirectory news, which is relative to the base URL.

     or

   • Click the Select URL to Publish button, which displays the Open window.

     This window enables allows you to navigate a directory structure so that you can locate and select the item to be included in the package.

     Select a URL and click OK.

     Focus is returned to the Specify Item to Insert window where the URL address appears automatically in the Select URL to Publish field.

2. Optionally specify a description and a name/value pair.
