      How can I add a button that links to a form / web page to an FAQ?

      In order to have buttons that open up an online form or web page, we need to leverage the power of full HTML. The reason is that this provides the flexibility to do things in different ways and because the style of things like buttons seamless pick up the existing council branding.

      To save anyone learning HTML (!), we have provided examples of HTML where it is simply a case of changing the URL and wording of the button.

      Button that opens a web page

      Note that this can be a link inside or outside of the council e.g. gov.uk.

      <a href=“Web page URL goes here" target="_blank" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary”>Button text goes here</a> 

      Button that opens an IEG4 online form insideOneVu 

      The button HTML is relatively similar except that the URL to be used needs to know the form number specific to the form in question. To get this you need to start the form you want the button to link by using the 'Browse All Forms' option within the citizen view of OneVu.

       

      Here we've clicked on a form for Benefit change in circumstances and the Url is as follows:

      The form number is therefore 39.  The HTML for adding a button that links to a form is:


      <a href="#/do-it-online/form/formnumber" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary”>Button text goes here</a> 


      So for the form above - with form number 39 - it would simply be a case of changing it to reflect this and adding in text to reflect what the form is for:

      <a href="#/do-it-online/form/39" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary”>Tell us about your change</a>
