Link icons

How it works

  • The link list re-imagined is a simplified version of  link list component which allows adding only a list of links
  • Link lists consist of a title and a number of links
  • A red arrow is displayed to the right of the link text
  • Available link icons
    • Arrow for internal link
    • External link
    • Download link
    • Anchor link

How to use it

  • Use link lists at the end of a piece of text to ensure the reading flow is not interrupted.
  • Use meaningful, concise phrases or keywords for link text and create a clear call-to-action.
  • Link-text must be self-explanatory
  • Use the UBS standard icon set.

What to avoid

  • Don't use meaningless link text like 'more'.
  • Don’t use a list just for 1 entry.
  • Try to avoid more than 5 entries per link list.
  • Try to avoid long phrases or complete sentences.

Internal links

  • Internal links should be generated using the option "Select Path" (references). Absolute URLs may not be used. 
  • Links should always open in the same window (see separate page on link behavior).
  • Mailto links must be configured so that they open in the same window.

Please note

  • Although the Link component provides a possibility to chose an icon, displaying of an icon is not supported by the Link List Re-imagined.
  • Internal links should always be relatively well maintained.
  • External links should be set to "https" whenever possible.
