Link
Use the Link component for navigational purposes within an app or view, such
as navigating to another page in the same Dynatrace environment.
When to use
- For navigational purposes within an app or view — for example, to navigate to another page.
When not to use
- To link to external resources. Use ExternalLink instead.
- To trigger actions or events. Use Button instead.
- When links need to align visually with surrounding items, or the main actions in a view are navigational, such as Next or Previous buttons in a guided flow. Use Button instead.
- When users will continue a user flow in another Dynatrace app. Use IntentButton instead. Read more about intents.
Content guidelines
Write link text that describes the destination — use words from the target page title. Avoid generic text like "here", "this page", or "more".
- Use lowercase for inline links unless the text contains a proper name or acronym.
- Don't include end punctuation inside the link when it closes a sentence.
- For standalone links, use patterns like "Learn more about [topic]" or "For details, go to [page title]".
- Use "go to" for required reading; use "visit" for optional content.
