Adding links

Links provide a way to associate files, folders, web pages, interactions, and DT FileCabinet documents with items in DT Practice. You can link items to client records, engagements, projects, tasks, time and expense entries, receipt and adjustment entries, and invoices. When you click a link within DT Practice, the linked item opens in the application with which it is associated.

  2. Select and open the item for which you want to add the link.
  3. Go to the Links tab.
  4. Right-click within the Links tab and choose the appropriate action from the context menu. The following options are available:
    • Add Files

Organizing links

By default, new links are added to their own groups. You can organize links by adding, renaming, or deleting groups, and by dragging links from one group to another.
  • To add a group, right-click within the Links tab and choose
    Add Group
     from the context menu.
  • To rename a group, right-click the title of the group and choose
    Rename Group
     from the context menu. Then type the new name for the group and press ENTER.
  • To delete a group, right-click the title of the group and choose
    Delete Group
     from the context menu. Select
    Yes
     to confirm deletion.
    note
    When you delete a group, you also delete any links in that group. If you want to retain one or more links, drag them to another group.
  • To move a link from one group to another, click and drag it onto or below the title of the group where you want to move it.
