Media Library: How do I manually link selected occurrences of a term in HTML files to a Media Library entry of the same name?

ANSWER:

Media Library: Creating Links to Media Files Manually

When the HTML file is viewed, the terms appear as links that can be clicked to display the Media Library entry in a separate window. IMPORTANT: All of the following must be true if you want to manually link occurrences of a term in an HTML file to a Media Library entry:

  • The entry you are linking to must already be created in Media Library.
  • The entry you are linking to must be set to Manual linking.
  • The title of the Media Library entry or term must be entered in the HTML file exactly as it appears in the Media Library entry.

Role(s) Needed: These instructions apply to Course- and Section-level Designers.

Step 1: Locate the HTML file in which you want to link terms to Media Library entries.

Step 2: Click the down arrow icon next to the HTML file and click Manage Media Library Links.

Step 3: Under Terms, locate the term to which you want to link a manual Media Library entry and click the down arrow , then click Edit.

All occurrences of the term in the HTML file and the current value of each occurrence are displayed.

NOTE: No indicates that the term is not linked to its Media Library entry and Yes indicates that the term is linked to its Media Library entry.

Step 4: Do one of the following:

  • To link one occurrence of a term to its Media Library entry, locate the occurrence and, under Linked, click No. The value is updated to Yes.
     
  • To link multiple occurrences of a term to its Media Library entry, next to each occurrence you want to link, select the check box and click Link. Under Linked, the value for the selected occurrences is updated to Yes.
     
  • To link all occurrences of a term to its Media Library entry, in the table heading row, next to Occurrence, select the check box. All occurrences are selected. Click Link. Under Linked, the value for all occurrences is updated to Yes.
