GroupValet allows you to link to other pages or files within GroupValet from your description. Because GV checks all links for security reasons, the link you create needs to be personalized for each member. We use a special code to add this personalization to these links - %LINK%.
Here's an example. Let's say you have a Mah Jongg group and in the File Library for your group you've uploaded a document for the Rules of MJ. When you create an activity, you'd like to provide your members with a direct link to that document so each time they sign up, it's right there and easy for them to access.
First, you need to make sure that document has been uploaded to your File Library. After that, here are the steps to create the link:
1. Just above the Description field, click the Want to create a link? button. Note - if you ever need a quick reference to these steps, hover over that button.
2. In the "Select a link for description field" popup, choose your document from the list and click Done. This list will include ALL documents in your File Library, along with links to all other pages and signups for your group.
3. In the Description field, enter your content and highlight the words you want to link to your document. Only the words you highlight will become linked.
4. With those words highlighted, click the Link tool in the toolbar for the description.
5. In the URL field inside the popup type %LINK% (in all caps) and click Insert.
This will personalize the link for each member and ensure they will access the item you selected in step 2 above.
