UDT07 Links

Each link tab displays a table of the linked items of the current UDT02. 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.

The Add Link function will also perform differently, depending on the configuration setting for the type of link.

The number of linked items displayed is determined by the number supplied in the Max Table Rows field in the General Options tab of the General Configuration screen.  If there are more linked items to be displayed, the More pushbutton will appear on the bottom of the screen.
