In either Condition Stubs or Action Stubs, you can enter a link keyword followed by an existing decision table name. The purpose of Table Links is simply as a convenience for opening decision tables. Clicking on a table link is therefore a context driven shortcut for using the File | Open option. The specific choice for link keywords is entirely up to you. Once you've defined your link keywords, LogicGem simply recognizes them in the stub areas, and provides a hyperlink to the referenced decision table.
You are able to define your link keywords in the Preferences dialog. Select the Edit | Preferences option and enter the link keywords in the Link Keywords field on the General tab. For instance, you can enter "goto" and "link" as link keywords. Multiple link keywords may be specified. Now you can enter a condition stub such as:
goto table.lgt
In the LogicGem worksheet, the stubs using link keywords will be shown as a link by being underlined and in blue text (much like a hyperlink), and if you click on this stub, table.lgt will be opened for you within LogicGem. Also, if you output to HTML, these links will be active in HTML format as well.
In order to edit or select an existing table link, you can right-click to get the normal behavior a left-click normally provides. Once in edit mode, then left clicks behave as usual.
Links can either include the .lgt extension or not. If a path to the decision table is not supplied in the stub, then the directory location of the current decision table is used. This means no path is needed if linking decision tables exist in the same directory. Alternately, you can enter a static path which will be used when looking for the decision table to open.
As an example, let's assume that "goto" and "link" are both previously entered as Link Keywords in Preferences, then all of the following stubs are allowed.
goto table1.lgt link table2 link c:\dtables\table3.lgt
