Define Link

The Link field is used to launch an Enterprise module or target (e.g. Log, Dashboard) through a user defined screen call, to display information associated with a column’s entry. Screen calls not only specify a module or target, they also pass any parameters required to launch the module or target.  Thus, screen calls must first be created and defined, and after they are, they become available to the Link field’s drop-down list.

If a screen call is specified for a column’s Link field, as shown in the above screenshot, in the log, its entries become hyperlinks that launch the module or target specified by the screen call. For instance, if a log’s column contains fixed asset codes and its corresponding Link field has a screen call, in the log, the column of fixed asset codes will be hyperlinks that launch the module specified by the screen call.

Refer to the following section, Define Screen Call, for details about creating screen calls.
