Link to a Document

You can link to a particular document on OR Nurse Link and reference it in a discussion post, email, or Inbox message.

After uploading your document to a group resource center or the main OR Nurse Link Resource Center, you'll first need to copy the link of the document to your clipboard by right-clicking on the name of the document and choosing Copy Shortcut if you're using Internet Explorer or Copy Link Location if you're using Firefox.

Copying the Document Link

Once you've copied the Document link to your clipboard, you can paste it where you need it. More info about cut and paste commands.

Sending Your Link in a Message to Members
After you've copied the document's link to your clipboard, you can email the link to the document to group members using the big orange Message Members button.

By default, most groups are set to allow only group owners to send mass inbox messages to all members of a group.

If you're a group owner and would like to send a message to everyone in your group, click on the Message Members button located in the upper right-hand side of any of your group's pages.

Clicking on Message Members will bring up a Compose New Message page where you will compose your message.

Type your message to your group members and with your mouse, highlight the text where you would like to insert the link to your message.

Then click on the Hyperlink Manager button in the tool bar -- it has a globe icon with a chain link.

In the Hyperlink Manager box that pops up, paste the URL into the URL field. (Use Ctrl V or click your right mouse button and choose Paste).

Please note that the URL field automatically comes pre-loaded with http://.

If you're pasting a URL, make sure to delete or paste over the pre-loaded http:// or else you'll have a URL with two http://, and your link will not work.

No other settings or fields need to be changed. Click OK.

The link to the document will now be included in your message.

Click Send to send out your message to your group members' OR Nurse Link inboxes.

The group members will receive an email to their external email address alerting them that they have an inbox message on OR Nurse Link.
