Use the Create Hyperlink Type dialog box to create a hyperlink type for future use within a VOB.

Controls in the window

The following controls appear in the window:

Control name	Control description
Type Name	Name of the hyperlink type to be created. An error occurs if a hyperlink type of this name already exists in the current VOB.
In VOB	Enter the name of the VOB that is to contain the new hyperlink type or click the option and select a VOB. By default, this field contains the name of the current VOB.
Comment	Optionally, you can enter a comment concerning the new hyperlink type.
Create a global type	Check this box if you want to create a hyperlink type that can be used as a global resource by the VOBs in the administrative VOB hierarchy.
Acquire globally defined types of the same name	Check this box to check all eclipsing hyperlink types in the administrative VOB hierarchy and convert them to local copies of the new global type. This option is active when you check the Create a global type option.
Allow use of this type even when it is remotely mastered	Check this box to specify that hyperlinks of this type can be created in any VOB replica. If you select this option and the Create a global type option, additional mastership restrictions exist when you create instances of the type. In this case, you cannot create instances of the type unless the client VOB contains a local copy of the type or the administrative VOB at the current site masters the type.
OK	Closes the Create Hyperlink Type window and creates the hyperlink type.
Cancel	Closes the Create Hyperlink Type window without creating the hyperlink type.
