Link a Content File to Another Host Record
After content has been scanned or imported and the DMS transactions processed, you can link a content file to another host record. If the content file has other content files attached to it, those files will be linked as well. In addition, you can link all content files attached to a host record by selecting the host record itself, then following the instructions below.
If you do not have access to one of the attached
files, you will not be able to link the host file.
To link a content file to another host record
Select DMS Window in the navigation frame to open the DMS Window.
Select the content file in the hierarchical list displayed in the DMS Window.
Select DMS Link in the navigation frame or click the Link button on the DMS Window.
Select the record to which you want to link the content. This can be another record on the same form or you can exit the current form, open another image-enabled maintenance form, and select a record.
Image-enabled maintenance forms are Case
Initiation Maintenance (CMAINIT), Identification (CPAIDEN), and Docket
Association Entry (CDADOCT).
Select DMS Window in the navigation frame to open the DMS Window. Notice the Link button is no longer available nor is DMS Link available in the navigation frame.
The Bar Code button remains available
during the Link process. You can use it to add images to a batch even
though you haven't yet completed the Link process.
Select DMS OK in the navigation frame or click the OK button on the DMS Window. You can also Cancel the link from either the navigation frame or the DMS Window.
You must select either OK or Cancel to
end the Link process.
