How to Add Jump Marks

Jump Marks (also known as anchor links or jump links) allow a user to click on a link that goes directly to a specific area of content on a web page. You will need to set up two items for this, one for the link and one to indicate where the link should jump to. The example below shows how to create jump links from the top of a web page to content that is lower down on the same page.

  1. In RedDot navigate to the page where you want to add the Jump Marks.
     
  2. Click on the Open Intro Text red dot in the center content area. This will reveal the Introductory Text and Body Text red dots.
