Dynamically Linking Attachments, Locations, and External Programs
Note: The Configuration Flags Module Right must be selected for you in Security.
The following configuration flags allow dynamic linking of attachments, locations, and external programs to the Voyage Manager, Fixture, Vessel, Cargo, COA, Time Charter In, and Time Charter Out forms. By using these flags, you can can store all your related documents in one location and access them directly, without having to individually define the links.
To enable dynamic linking to a form, edit the Value of its configuration flag:
