A link in the world wide web indicates the location, that is the
address, of a website at a certain time. Information on a factline platform is referenced via a unique identifier, the "infoID".
In other words, a link on an FCS platform does not refer to a certain
location but rather to the piece of information itself. As a result,
links always remain intact even if a document is moved to another
folder or to another platform. Subsequently, there are no "dead links"!
A factlink can either be created in text editor, simple text or HTML mode.
How can I search for an infoID? - In most cases you will not
know the infoID of the desired document by heart. Therefore, you can
find the link "search for indoIDs" in the options area (left column)
whenever you open an input mass with a text entry field. If you click
on the link, a search field opens, in which you can enter a keyword of
the desired fact. After clicking on the "search" button, a list of all
matching facts is displayed together with their infoIDs.
