Use hyperlinks

You can use any valid URL to view web pages from the Equipment view, but you can also configure hyperlinks for internal documents such as maintenance history logs, maintenance schedules, personnel schedules, notes about operations, web camera views of units or equipment, and startup or shutdown documentation.

Once the URL of a document (or web camera) is configured, you can view the item through the browser. You can use the

Back

or

Home

button to return to the Equipment view.

Hyperlinks can be assigned to any resources within the equipment database. These hyperlinks are then made available within the

FactoryTalk Batch View

client in the Equipment view. You can use the hyperlinks to provide access to documents that reside on your local intranet, pertaining to the specific equipment resource, or you may want to provide access to a manufacturer’s web site. The following instructions outline the method for making internal documents available via hyperlinks.
