An example of linking the Web Browser instrument to a document on your network:

Note: You can also use a Windows file path or a relative path to Control in the URL field.

For example, if Control is running in “C:\Program Files\Cyrious\Control”, then this URL would work as well. “\Pages\MyPage.HTML”.

An example of a very basic html page being displayed in the instrument which will allow you to create line items with one click:

• A new ability to be able to click a link in a Web Browser dashboard instrument that will perform various actions such as:
  • Create a new Order and automatically add a product with pre defined variables and information
  • Open a new tab in Control to places in the program like the Setup areas, etc.

• This will speed up Order entry greatly for some users that have standard products which always have the same values
• It will also help users jump to certain parts of the program without having to navigate through multiple menus

• Anyone that creates or sells products that always have the same values and would like to not have to always enter the same information over and over
• Anyone who likes jumping right to where they want to be in the program with as few clicks as possible

• The tag is the main “Link” tag in HTML
• Add HREF attribute with URL
• Add Target attribute for new window

• Air Conn Inc * Order 1275 - Bank One
