The power behind Generic Links
Each link has a Source Anchor and a Destination Document. The Source Anchor is the text in a document where the link is to be applied. The Destination Document is the document that appears when the link is followed.
Active Navigation applies the link when the Source Anchor matches the text in the Source Document.
In the example above, the Source Anchor is the word "Sodium" and the Destination Document is a document about Sodium. Active Navigation treats the link as Generic and applies the link every time the word or phrase of the Source Anchor is seen within a document that Active Navigation is serving.
This means that you only have to create the link to the document about Sodium once, and it will be applied to all documents that have the word Sodium in them.
In this next example, there is one link in the linkbase with the Source Anchor "Sodium". Since all Active Navigation links are Generic, the link is applied every time the Source Anchor is identified in a document.
