You can add hyperlinks to any data field on your page whether it displays the text value or an image.  The hyperlink can be either static or dynamic depending on how you choose to build the link. You can also link to places like the Shopping Cart.

3. Type the fixed part of the URL in the editor (eg. ./education/ or ./product/)

4. Insert the field data into the URL by double-clicking on the field names. (eg. [ClassName] or [ProductID]). The chosen fields will be inserted into the editor.
