Internal References
Valid for: enaio® Version version 9.10
In enaio®, users can create internal references. These references can be created using the Send e-mail function in enaio® webclient, enaio® webclient as desktop application, and enaio® mobile, and additionally using the
Copy link function (see Sending Objects and Copying Links). This generates reference files with the .os file extension that can be integrated into e-mails and Windows applications (e.g., Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and/or stored in the file system. Clicking or tapping on a reference file will open the locally installed enaio® application (enaio® client, enaio® webclient as desktop application, or enaio® mobile; enaio® webclient does not support this function) and display the relevant object.
Internal references can be used to call the following objects in enaio®:
-
Documents, folders, and registers
-
Saved searches
-
Portfolios
References with saved searches can also be transferred to the desktop application of enaio® webclient or to enaio® mobile (see Saving and Transferring Searches).
References to portfolios and references with searches containing parameters are not yet supported by the desktop application of enaio® webclient and enaio® mobile.
