Paths

In this procedure you can register paths that are used to link files to different records in MONITOR G5.

The paths can be used with the file link function found under the button Files in a procedure. This function is available in several places in many procedures. When using the button, a window appears where the you can link files to different records. It is also possible to preview the files in a file viewer.

You can link files from the paths (and their sub-folders) that you add and set as active in this procedure. We recommend that you only register paths to shared folders on a computer in the network to which other users always have access.

You can also use the drag and drop function to link a file, for example via Explorer in Windows or via an e-mail program (attachment in e-mail). You than drop the files on the button Files or in the table Linked files in the file link window under the button. Then you must select to which registered path the file should be copied. You must then have write permissions to the path.

As a standard you can link all types of files. However, you can only preview PDF files. If you want to preview and print other file types, for example Word, Excel or different drawing files, you must have the option called Extended file viewer. By clicking this link you access a complete list of the supported file formats in the extended file viewer.
