To Create a QuickLink for an Object

A QuickLink is a URL to an object in AssetWise. They are useful when you want to send someone a link to an object in ALIM Web; simply generate a QuickLink for the object you have open and then paste the link into an email message. When the recipient clicks the link or pastes it into a web browser, the link takes them directly to that object in ALIM Web.

You can create QuickLinks for the following types of objects:

Change Requests
Documents
Events
Modifications
Organizations
Persons
Physical Items
Projects
Reports
Serialized Items
Tags
Virtual Item Groups
Work Orders

After you generate a QuickLink for an object, you copy the link's URL to your clipboard, and then you paste the link into whatever form you like, for example, a Microsoft Word document or an email message.

Note: Ensure that Quick Link URLs option is enabled in ALIM Web Manager for this feature to be available.
