Process

1. To open the HTML edit box, click on the gear icon on the upper right side of the widget that you want to configure.

   

2. Edit the href attributes accordingly.

   

   To open linked contents on a new page, you have to use the target attribute with _parent as the target value.

   Here's the syntax: 

   <a href=[reference link] target="_parent">[link text description]</a>

   In the example shown, the following code was used:

   <a href="https://jivedemo-jxxxxxx.jiveon.com/rewards">Navigate away</a> 

   To open this link on a new page, the code should be:

   <a href="https://jivedemo-jxxxxxx.jiveon.com/rewards" target="_parent">Navigate away</a>

   You can also open the linked contents on a new window or tab by using the attribute value _blank.

3. Click Save.
