Creating Web Links

A Web Link allows you to quickly and easily add the URL for a link created in another application, for example, if there is a report that is held for the client in a different program, such as your practice management software.

Web Links can also be created through Automation steps, for example, when importing a report from Xero Ledger.

Creating a Web Link

  1. From FYI, click the + button in the menu bar and select Web Link from the list of document types.
    Alternatively, from the workspace, press the shortcut key L to create a new Web Link.
     
  2. The Create Web Link drawer displays.

    The fields that initially display depend on whether filing defaults have been set in your settings or in the Practice Settings. 
  3. Enter your Web Link details.  When you select the Client, these may change to the filing defaults set for the client. 
     
  4. Click Create.

You can use Web Link if you need to copy an email or document and file it in FYI to multiple clients, but only want a single version of the file. To do this, copy the email or document as a Doc Link and then adding this Doc Link as the URL.

Accessing a document from a Web Link

In a list, click the Open icon next to the Web Link name and the linked document displays.
