Internal References

enaio® client • 10.10 »

In enaio® client, users can create internal references. Internal references are reference files with the file extension .os, which

  • can be sent in e-mails.

  • can be integrated into Windows applications (e.g., Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

  • can be stored in the file storage system.

Clicking a reference file will open the locally installed enaio® application (enaio® client, enaio® webclient as a desktop applicationExternal link icon, or enaio® mobile External link icon; enaio® webclient does not support this function) and display the relevant object.

Creating Internal References

enaio® client offers the following options for creating internal references:

  • Via the context menu

    The following functions for creating internal references are available in the context menu:

    1. Context menu > E-mail icon E-mail > E-mail reference icon Reference

      Creates an e-mail and an internal reference of the marked object and places it in the e-mail attachment.

    2. Context menu > Actions > Clipboard > Reference

      Creates an internal reference of the marked object and places it in the Windows clipboard. You can save the reference file to your file storage system with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V or by pasting it into a Windows application, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.

  • Via the ribbon

Opening Internal References

Internal references can be used to call the following objects in enaio®:

  • Documents, folders, and registers

  • Saved searches

  • Searches with parameters

  • Portfolios

If enaio® client (enaio® webclient as a desktop application or enaio® mobile also support internal references) is installed on the workstation, you can double-click internal references to open them. You can use the following keyboard commands to further control the call of an *.os reference file:

  • If you press and hold Ctrl (if necessary, until enaio® client is launched), the document is opened as a read-only file.

  • If you press and hold Shift, the index data form will be opened.

  • You can open the location by pressing Ctrl+Shift.

The recipient of an internal reference has to have the appropriate rights to the document type or the location in order to open the received document.

Depending on what default action is configured in enaio®, the action taken when opening references may differ from what has been described here. The default action is defined by your administrator (see enaio® Administration External link icon).
