Creating link-type digital assets

Before adding a link to an external resource to a Pimics entity, you must create it as a standalone link into the system. Using the Links Worksheet, you can fill into the list all the links you want to create, check details and after that create them in the system. This way you will be able to assign these links to any number of items or categories at any time in the future.

  1. Open Digital Assets > Links Worksheet
  2. Click on New to enable Edit mode
  3. Paste your link URL in Source Document
  4. In the Document Type field, select the type of the linked document
    1. Field Type which defines the type of the link, is set based on Document Type
    2. The modification of Document Type generates a new Document ID which will be used for the new record
  5. In the Description field, fill a short description of your link if needed
  6. Once all lines are prepared, click on Home > Create Links
  7. The links are created, and Document Created status of the line(s) is changed from Not created to Created
  8. You can now access the link(s) in digital asset pages based on type, like any other digital asset

The links created in Pimics can be assigned to any entities such as items, item groups, etc.

  1. Select lines (links) to be assigned
  2. Click on Assign and select the type of entity
  3. From the list of entities, select the record(s) that will get the link(s)
  4. Confirm
  5. Now the links are attached to entities
