Creating External Links for Objects
 
Creating External Links by Drag and Drop
Creating External Links Using the External Links Tab
Creating External Links by Copying Existing Ones
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.
* Creating External Links by Drag and Drop
* Creating External Links Using the External Links Tab
* Creating External Links by Copying Existing Ones
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.
