What is a Hotpoint?

Hotpoints are circular, interactive callouts located on a Page's illustrated diagram.

When a user clicks on a Hotpoint, Documoto will highlight the corresponding Part in the bill of material (BOM), as well as open a Part Info Preview of the associated part attributes, such as: part number and name, and icons that indicate if there are related items, comments, or tags associated to the part.

What is a Hotpoint Link?

Hotpoint Links extend the capabilities of a standard hotpoint and are denoted by a square callout. A Hotpoint Links' function is to provide a clickable link that leads users to associated media, chapters or pages.

Note: the above example shows both that a hotpoint item 
number can be tied to multiple parts and that one hotpoint 
link can be linked to multiple destinations.
