Using
External Links, you can establish connections between
Assets and Registry Objects and resources that are managed outside the registry, for example,
Supporting Documents and Resources in the Supporting Documents Library.
You have the following options for creating external links for registry objects.
Use these options only for external links that are not represented by
Attributes in one of the custom profiles in the
CentraSite Details editor. For working on attributes, use the mechanisms for
Updating Registry Objects.
Note:
The
CentraSite Eclipse GUI allows you to create a registry object of the ExternalLink type that represents a folder or file in the registry, but is not connected to a registry object. To do this, select the folder or file in the
Repository Explorer View or
Documents View, choose New External Link from the folder's or file's context menu, and specify a name for the ExternalLink object in the dialog.
