IDD Team Hyperlink Policy

From one MIT Enterprise Content System to another (including Help Pages)

• IDD will link from one content site to another no more than two directories down in a web.mit.edu site. For instance, IDD will link to web.mit.edu/hr/benefits, but not to web.mit.edu/hr/benefits/insurance/


• IDD will link from one content site to an MIT site with its own domain no more than one directory down (medical.mit.edu/wellness/ but not medical.mit.edu/wellness/yoga/)

From one IDD-maintained Content System to a different IDD-maintained Content System

• IDD will hyperlink and maintain the links as deep as required within and between IDD-maintained content sites

From any MIT Enterprise web site to an outside site

• IDD will only link to the domain level (www.caltech.edu but not www.caltech.edu/biz/)

From a IDD-maintained content site to MIT applications:

• Directly to the start of all Administrative Computing enterprise applications


• Never to any DLC-maintained applications, even if they fit the description of an enterprise application

Note: Some of the example web sites listed in the IDD Policy exist while others were made up for explanation purposes.
