You can make any displayed field a hotspot. When you move the mouse cursor over a hotspot, OrgPlus highlights the hotspot field and displays the profile assigned to the box.
You can edit chart information by modifying the profile fields, and you can follow any hyperlink in the profile. For example, if you edit a field in the profile that also appears in the box, OrgPlus changes that field in the box to match your edits. Clicking a hyperlinked e-mail address in the profile launches your e-mail application.
To create or clear a hotspot:
1 Choose a field in the Box Layout area.
