UDT07 Links

Each link tab displays a table of the linked items of the current UDT01.  Use the UDT07 Links tab to add and/or delete UDT07 links.  Different column headings and data will display in the table, depending on whether you are using Direct or Wildcard links or the Costpoint multicompany feature, or calculating rates.
