In most ShortPoint Design Elements, where there is a Link field, there is also a field called Linking Option. The Linking Option field allows you to choose how links will open when a user clicks on an item on the page.

Linking Options in Page Builder


There are four linking options you can choose from in Page Builder. They are Default, Lightbox, New Window, and Dialog. Find out more about them below:

NOTE: You will only see the Linking Option field if the ShortPoint Design Element you are editing also has the Link field, which allows you to redirect a Design Element to another page.


Default


The Default linking option will open your link in the same browser tab:

The Lightbox option will open your link in a highlighted box in the middle of the page:

New Window


The New Window option will open the link in a new tab in your browser:


New Window Linking Option


Dialog


The Dialog linking option works much like the Lightbox. Your link will also open in a highlighted box in the middle of the page.  The only difference is that it will cut off the header and footer of the page whenever possible, presenting only the main page content.

That’s it! You now know the four linking options available in Page Builder. Enjoy utilizing each one in your own SharePoint pages.
