091353 - SDS Linking Process
091354 -
091355 - John asks how SDS links my letter to him, to his letter to me?
091356 - ref DRT 1 2091
091357 -
091358 - Many links in SDS are automated (i.e., system generated) to create
091359 - chronologies of cause and effect between related tasks over time.
091360 -
091361 - Custom links shown in Welch correspondence are created as follows...
091362 -
091363 -
091364 -       1.  Typically, you are creating information, as in this SDS
091365 -           record, and decide a point can be supported by reference to
091366 -           another source.
091367 -
091368 -           When that occurs, double click near the end of the word
091369 -           where a link is desired.  This marks the location for the
091370 -           end of the link identification in the target record.
091371 -
091372 -           If you want to link a single word, go to step 2.
091373 -
091374 -           If you want to link a string, place the cursor at the
091375 -           beginning of the word that begins the string of words to be
091376 -           included in the link, then do step 2.
091377 -
091378 -       2.  Open the target, also, "source" material.
091379 -
091380 -              Opening source material is automated in a lot of ways
091381 -              that are not described here.
091382 -
091383 -           Move to the location in target material that supports the
091384 -           object record.
091385 -
091386 -           Press Enter or double click.
091387 -
091388 -           The target material is closed.
091389 -
091390 -           The system returns the object material and enters the code
091391 -           for a link at the location marked in step 1.
091392 -
091393 - To make another link in the same target, use the link just created to
091394 - open the target, and repeat the process.
