Media Feeds

Link Behaviors define what happens on the public website when a link to another page, to a URL, to a media item or to a download is selected. In the Editor, a link behavior must be assigned to all links. Link behaviors determine the look and feel of hyperlinks in XperienCentral, for example whether the link appears in the same browser window or in a new window, the size of the window that is linked to, whether it has a navigation bar, is resizable, and so forth. By default there are two default Link Behaviors. You can also create your own Link Behaviors and use them for hyperlinks.
