Create link-type digital assets
There are two ways to create links in Pimics:
- Use Links Worksheet to create links in bulk.
- Add a link directly from a PIM Item Card when you work on a specific item.
Before adding a link to an external resource to a Pimics entity, you must first create it in the system as a standalone link.
Create and assign a link directly from a PIM Item Card
Use this method when you want to add a link directly to one item.
- Open the relevant PIM Item Card.
- Select Related > Documents > Links.
- Select a new line.
- Paste the URL in the Source Document field.
- Select relevant fields such as Document Class if necessary.
- Confirm and close.
Create new links using Links Worksheet
- Open Digital Assets > Links Worksheet.
- Click New to enable edit mode.
- Paste your URL in Source Document.
- In the Document Type field, select the type of linked document.
- The Type field, which defines the link type, is set based on Document Type.
- Changing Document Type generates a new Document ID that is used for the new record.
- In the Description field, enter a short description of your link if needed.
- When all lines are prepared, select Home > Create Links.
- The links are created, and Document Created changes from Not created to Created.
- You can now access the links in digital asset pages based on type, like any other digital asset.
Assign links to entities
The links created in Pimics can be assigned to any entities such as items, item groups, etc.
- Select the lines (links) to assign.
- Click Assign, and then select the entity type.
- From the list of entities, select the records that will receive the links.
- Confirm.
- The links are now attached to entities.
