LinkScan Main MenuThe LinkScan Main Menu is the main entry point to all of the LinkScan Reports. Use this menu to select the type of report you want to create. Optionally, you may also select an Owner. |
You must select one of the individual Reports and submit the form by pressing Select Report.
A help page is available for each type of LinkScan Report. You may view the appropriate help page at any time by using the Help option on the context-sensitive LinkScan Toolbar. You may also use the [?] links on the LinkScan Main Menu, or the links provided in the summary table below.
The most frequently used reports have been organized in the left hand column; we suggest new users start there. Also, many of the reports incorporate hyperlinks to other reports. This means you can use a drill-down paradigm to view more detail associated with a specific problem or document. For example, some users may never explicitly select a LinkScan/QuickCheck Report. But they will likely view reports of that type by following the [Src] links from other reports.

The LinkScan Main Menu may include an Owner Selection Box. If enabled, this option will allow you to select a sub-set of the website to which subsequent reports will apply.
In a default configuration, the Owner Selection Box will include entries for each top-level directory scanned, in addition to the special entry "All". This will be the default selection and subsequent reports will apply to the entire website scanned.
Note however, that the LinkScan Administrator may configure and customize the manner in which Owners are created. Hence your installation may appear and behave somewhat differently from that described herein.
In many cases, when you submit the form by pressing Select Report you will be presented with a second menu of options. Initially, we suggest you accept the default options which have been carefully designed to produce excellent results in the vast majority of situations. However, to learn more, you may use the context-sensitive Help button on the LinkScan Toolbar at any time.
Each of the LinkScan Menus and Reports includes a common LinkScan Toolbar. It contains a number of links:
| Main Menu Preferences Advanced | Help Reference HowTo Card |
The Main Menu link will always return you to the LinkScan Main Menu.
The Preferences link will always take you to the LinkScan Login and Preferences Menu.
The Advanced link appears when appropriate and it will cause the current menu to be redrawn with additional options.
The Help link will display an appropriate section of the LinkScan Documentation depending upon the current context.
The Reference link will display the table of contents for the LinkScan Reference Manual.
The HowTo link will display a brief How To Guide with instructions for completing certain Common Tasks.
The Card link will display the LinkScan Quick Reference Card.
