How to create jump links in a report
Jump links let readers click a link and instantly jump to another section of the same report. Full video tutorial attached below.
Step 1: Set the Jump Link Destination (Add an ID)
1. Start by going to the header or text you want people to jump to.
2. Open the HTML / Code editor within that header or text.
3. Within the HTML, find the header tag (for example: <h2>).
4. Inside that tag, add an ID. For example:
- <h2 id="sectionthree">Section 3</h2>
Important rules for IDs:
- No spaces
- Use short, clear names
- This text is not visible to users
Step 2: Create the Jump Link
Now go to the place where you want the clickable link to live (often near the top of the report).
- Highlight the text you want users to click
- Click Insert Link (or the link icon under the three-dot menu).
- In the URL field, type:
- # (pound sign) followed by the exact ID name
- I.e #sectionthree
Save and check your work!
Quick things to check if it doesn’t work:
- Double-check that the ID and link text match exactly
- Make sure there are no spaces in the ID
