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.

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.

You can also hyperlink work permits created by EasyPower. See Work Permit Files for more information.

Note: Your computer must have the related program installed to open the file—for example, to open an Excel spreadsheet, you must have Excel installed.
