Activ provides you with the facility to copy the direct link to any file within the File Manager module. This link can then be pasted into other parts of your system, or into an email for sending to other members of your company. When clicked, these links will automatically download the latest version of the chosen file to the user’s computer, as long as the following caveats are met:
- The link’s recipient must have a login to Activ, and must be signed into their account.
- The user must have the appropriate permissions to the Library (and folder, if it is Private) that the file is stored in.
The direct link to a file can be copied from two locations. These are:
- Directly from the Library or folder that the file is stored within
- From within the file’s Properties
