Instructions on linking to the research group/theme tab from the research section

You may have found that having accessed the research section, and navigating to a tab hosted in there (eg /research-groups), the URL for this page does not exist when it is copy and pasted into your browser. We are able to create a URL for any tabbed section of a Haiku website, and the information below will demonstrate how.

Navigate to the research section on your website.
Right click on the tab you wish to generate a URL for (eg research groups or research themes).
Copy the address of this tab.
When pasted, this address will now direct the user to the desired tab in the research section.

Alternatively, a user can create a link to any tabbed section of a Haiku website by amending the URL. In demonstration;

www.test.com/research/research-groups must be changed to www.test.com/research#research-groups
1. As shown, by replacing the forward slash ( / ) with a hash key ( # ), the URL will now redirect to the research group tab, hosted on the research page
