Subject Area Links

A subject area can contain many:many referencing children.

These show a subject area as a child of another subject area. The child subject area cannot be edited directly. The IDD application user must navigate to a separate data view for the child subject area to edit it. The

subjectAreaLinkColumn

element is used to define a column that is to be used as a hotlink.

The data in the column identified as the subject area link is underlined. When the IDD application user clicks on this column, the associated subject area is opened in a new tab.

Whether a subject area link column is configured or not, the IDD application user can right click on the record and select 'Open in a New Tab' to open the subject area.
