Creating a link to a study reference file

You can create a link on an eForm that is displayed to the data entry user and enables them to view files that have been attached to the study as reference documents.

1. Ensure that the file has been attached to the study. Help on this...
2. On the eForm, click the Comment button in the toolbar and click in an empty space on the eForm where you want to add the link.
3. Enter the link text, formatted as follows:

<file filename=’filename.ext’ caption=’caption’ extension=’.ext’/>

For example: <file filename=’spine.png’ caption=’Spinal areas’ extension=’.png’/>

The comment will now be displayed to the data entry user as a link on the eForm.

Supported files are DOC, DOCX, JPEG, JPG, PDF, PNG, TXT.

If a different file type is referenced, or the browser does not have the required add-on to view the file, the file will be offered as a download.
