Create and Send Document Link

Explanation

This activity is used to create and send a link to the current document. It could be used to publish links on an intranet, in an e-mail or in a small document portal for your commonly used documents.

This activity can be performed using the Create and Send Document Link command in Document Revision page or Document Revisions page. This will open the Create and Send Document Link assistant where it is possible to select the document type, decide whether the latest revision, the latest released revision or the current revision should be accessible through the links and send the links by e-mail. Also, if needed it is possible to copy a link by triple click on the link which highlights all of it and then simply copying it.

Furthermore, the link given as Direct Link to Download Document File (Non-Dynamic) in Create and Send Document Link assistant will behave differently than the other two links, where the other links are dynamic, which means the latest revision or latest released revision are calculated when the link is used whereas the document revision value for the non-dynamic link is calculated when the link is created, which means it is fixed. Therefore, the direct link and the other links will not fetch the same revision.

Prerequisites

To perform this activity, a document must have been created first.
