General Tab of the Link Center Form

The General tab of the Link Center form allows you to enter or modify the name, path, and description of a link. Each tab of the Link Center form has the same toolbar.

The name of a link form varies, depending on the value that you enter in the Name field. For new records, the default name is <New Link>, which displays below the Link Center toolbar.

For more information, see Link Center Overview.
