Learn how File links work in Logiqc.
File links provide the option to use a web or Sharepoint link instead of uploading a file when you're adding a document, contract or record to the Logiqc platform.
Once enabled, the option to add a file link is visible in all locations where you can upload a document, contract or record (including attached records).
A link lets you reference a document that's stored online in another platform (such as a web location or Sharepoint) instead of uploading a copy of the file to Logiqc.
This feature is available to all users. Logiqc system administrators can select Enable links for files in Admin mode, and links can also be set as the default setting for your organisation.
Q: Who can enable file links?
A: Logiqc system administrators can select Enable links for files in Admin mode (System settings / General settings).
Q: What link formats are supported?
A: The address must include the 'scheme': a web format (https://) or Microsoft Sharepoint format (https://<company>.sharepoint.com/...).
Q: What happens when I open a linked file?
A: The preview icon changes to a link icon, and clicking the link icon opens the link in a new tab in your browser.
