Linking Objects
SmarTeam - Web Editor is an application in which all data is organized around your projects and displayed in structured grid/tree links. These grid/tree links provide an inherent hierarchical link between all types of information in the SmarTeam database. This feature can be used to present a part tree; attributes, such as Quantity, can also be defined in the tree link structure. A link can be added to an existing object in a single operation.
A new object can be linked to other objects after it has been added. For details, see Creating and Linking a New Object
To link an object:
- Select the source object to display its Profile Card.
- From the Edit menu or Command Toolbar, select Link Object.
- From the Clipboard window:
- Select another search view, if relevant
- Select the target object with which you want to link and click
- If a single link type exists between the source object and the new target object, and the link does not support configuration views, the link is created and you are redirected to the source object Profile Card
- If the target object has more than one link type connecting the source and the target object, or the link type supports configuration views, you will be prompted to select the link type or select configuration views
- Click
.
The link to the selected object is created and you are redirected to the source object's Profile Card.
