Specifying Link IDs

CRM.Web allows you to specify Link IDs using CRM.Designer.

You may need to specify the link ID in CRM.Designer when configuring the following units:

• Expand configurations (Parent Relations and Breadcrumb Parent). See Expand Configuration
• Field groups (Add Linked Fields functionality). See Add Linked Fields
• SearchSubList and ExpandChildren headers (when configuring the sub-info areas). See Related Data area (Header Info Areas)
  Note: If you configure sub-lists for an info area that is linked to the parent via a generic link. For example, the Document Links (D3), To-Do (TD) or Messages (MD) info areas, you always have to specify the link ID 127.
• Query definition (adding info areas). See Defining Queries
• Table captions (when using linked fields). See Configuring a Table Caption
• Timelines. See Configuring a Timeline
• TreeView configurations (parent link selection). See TreeView Configuration
• Linked Records in a Process Ask configuration. See Process Ask Configuration. (In this case you need to enter the link ID using $LINK, e.g., $Link[KP:1]. See Link Names in JavaScript.)

To specify a link ID:

1. Check LinkID.
2. Select the desired link from the drop-down list.

   If both the source and the destination info area are known, only the allowed Link-IDs between these two info areas are displayed in a drop-down list.

   Most pages offer a toggle option to select a link ID or manually enter it: Either Text/Selection links or (text input)/ (catalog input) icons (see examples below).
