Add & Edit Links to Resources

 

 

From an open Cmap:

To add a resource link, begin by left-clicking a concept you want to link with a resource.


Select Edit then Add & Edit Links to Resources... from the menu bar. (You can also perform this action by right-clicking the selected concept, then left-clicking on Add & Edit Links to Resources... from the menu that appears. Pressing Ctrl+r while a concept is selected is a third option you may use.)


Using the "Editing Resource Links for [...]" window, you can manually navigate through folders to add resource links to concepts in Cmaps. The "Editing Resource Links for [...]" window is very similar to the "Add Resources" window (described in the help section Import Resources) because multiple resource links may be added and managed in one location. Once you have located the resources you want linked to the selected concept, highlight them and left-click Add to List.


Left-click the box under Description to add or change the description of the selected resource. Remove may be used to remove a resource link from the list. To make further changes to the resource link, highlight the resource and left-click the Edit... button. The "Edit Resource Link" window will open (described in the help section Drag in Resources). Any changes made in the "Edit Resource Link" window will appear in the "Edit Resource Links for [...]" window after left-clicking OK. Left-click the Update button when you are finished editing the selected concept's resource links.


Now when viewing the Cmap, a resource link group icon (described in the help section Drag in Resources) will appear attached to the concept. When the resource link group icon is left-clicked, it will reveal a selectable list of resources that have been added to the concept.
