Creating a Message or HTML Interaction
A Message Interaction is a static Interaction that only displays text that doesn’t change often. This type of message is typically used for 'About Us' or 'Contact Us" or even static Help information. Any text that is updated rarely can be used in a Message Interaction.

Creating a Hyperlink Interaction
A Hyperlink Interaction is an Interaction that jumps immediately to a URL or another Interaction within either the same answerSpace or a different answerSpace when the user selects it. In the Interaction Manager, choose ‘Manage Interactions’ and then ‘Interactions’.
...
- Note that you can choose how the link opens.
- Define all other options in the relevant Tabs as required.
- If you are using Navigational Tags, make sure you’ve associated this Interaction with a Category so it will be viewable where users expect.
- Click ‘Save’.
Explicitly Using Hyperlinks (aka AHref = )
If you are explicitly using hyperlinks in your code, then there are some mADL shortcuts which you will find useful when navigating around the same answerSpace:
- <a interaction="i1" ...>link to an Internal Interaction</a>
- <a category="c1" ...>link to an Internal Category</a>
- <a masterCategory="m1" ...>link to an Internal Master Category (BICv2 only)</a>
- <a back>go back one screen in the answerSpace</a>
- <a home>go home (if you have defined a Home Interaction in "answerSpace Setup")</a>
- <a login>go to login (if you have defined a Login Interactions in "answerSpace Setup")</a>
Creating a mADL (PHP) Interaction
mADL interactions are a self contained micro applications designed using BlinkAnswers Distillation Language mADL. mADL interactions are dynamic pages, able to get data to the user from a variety of sources. They perform actions when a user taps or clicks it - such as displaying information from a website.
The other sites can be updated and the Interaction will always display the latest information.
