Associating Equipment Data with Hyperlinks
You can set hyperlinks to files for all equipment data. This is useful for quickly viewing other types of documents such as PDF, DOC, Excel, pictures, and databases that may contain information about the equipment. For instance, while analyzing a switchgear, you might want to review the specifications for LV switchgear, the available datasheet on the existing switchgear, and the maintenance log database. You can set hyperlinks as shown below.
Figure 1: Hyperlinks Tab
Every equipment data dialog has a Hyperlink tab. Use it to create links to additional reference information. This can be documentation or web URLs, for example.
Tip: It isn't required that you link to individual documents. For example, if you have all your equipment documentation stored in a particular folder on your network, you can copy and paste the folder path into the File or Web Page Name box. Anyone who has access to the folder will be able to click the link to open the folder location and view the documentation related to the selected equipment.
You can also hyperlink work permits created by EasyPower.
Note: Your computer must have the related program installed to open the file—for example, to open an Excel spreadsheet, you must have a program that opens Excel files installed.
