Assign the customer content directory to an equipment resource

FactoryTalk eProcedure instructions can contain links to content located in the Customer Content directory. These links are defined in the FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor. Follow the instructions in the FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor User Guide for setting up an equipment resource.
This is an example of configuring eProcedure hyperlinks to the documents or pictures under the customer content directory.
The Server Options dialog box contains some or all of the tabs on these screen shots, depending on which FactoryTalk Batch modules are installed on your system.
