EBMS documents such as invoices, customers, journals, or vendors can be opened using hyperlinks. A hyperlink can be a convenient way to attach a document to an e-mail, outlook calendar, or short cut.
The user that opens an EBMS document using a hyperlink must have access to the EBMS data. A hyperlink is only a shortcut and does not distribute the document. A user must log into EBMS each time a hyperlink is selected unless EBMS is already running on the user's computer.
EBMS allows the following hyperlink formats:
Redirector hyperlink is available in MyEBMS and other software: https://info.eaglebusinesssoftware.com/Support/EbmsRedirector?entity=filename&key=document key
EBMS only hyperlink: EBMS:filename?document key
All EBMS only hyperlinks are prefixed with EBMS:. The filename indicates the data file name that contains the information. Note that the suffix of the file may not be included. The document key is the unique identifier for the document. The document key for a sales invoice is the invoice number. The document key for a customer is the customer ID.
Example: The hyperlink for a sales invoice is https://info.eaglebusinesssoftware.com/Support/EbmsRedirector?entity=ARINV&Id=9018
