Getting Links for Documents, Folders, and Saved Searches
Use the Get link icon to get an HTTPS link for any document, folder, work area, or saved search, which can then be shared with other users as needed (for example, pasted in a chat message, email, or document).
You can get the following types of links:
- a ProjectWise Web link (default)
- a ProjectWise Explorer link
- a Microsoft Teams link (requires that the work area connection that contains the linked item must first be added as a tab in Microsoft Teams).
- a ProjectWise Web View link (assumes a connection to the datasource that contains the linked item already exists in ProjectWise Web View)
The user who clicks the link is taken directly to the item in the interface specified in the link (after being prompted to log in, if needed).
It is assumed that the user you are sharing the link with has an account in the datasource and access to the selected item.
