Create Link

You can create a link of an entity or a page in the 12d Synergy Web or Mobile App and share it with other 12d Synergy users in different ways. Links can be created for entities such as folders, files, tasks, and jobs. A link to the Library page can also be created.

When a link other than a readable link is created and shared, it is an unbreakable link. This means to say that even if the shared entity is moved or renamed, the shared link will still function.

 There are different types of links that can be created for sharing data and information amongst 12d Synergy users.

• Web link – a link of the 12d Synergy Web or Mobile App that can be accessed by other Web users.
• 12d Synergy link – a link of the 12d Synergy thick client that can be accessed by pasting the link in the Location box of the home screen of the 12d Synergy Client application. This link works only on an installed 12d Synergy Client application.
• Download link – a link to automatically download the entity without going to the required page/entity in the 12d Synergy App.
• Readable link – a link that can be read by a user to know what is being shared and accessed.
• QR Code – a two-dimensional Barcode that can be scanned to view or download an entity. It can also be downloaded as an image (.png file) and shared.
