Hello Folks,
I need some help to figure out if we have out of the box capability to store links against objects in IFS (e.g., POs, WOs etc.). Moreover, please note the expectation is that upon clicking these links users will be pointed to documents stored in an external share point. 

Ideally what we would like is when users open up the ‘Attachments’ panel in IFS (and let’s assume it is the ‘Prepare work order’ page) they will see a cue/information card (that holds an external link to the actual document stored in the external SharePoint) that will takes them to the document upon clicking it. 

Thanks very much!

Hi ​@desilvasachitha,

A similar support case was raised by another customer, and our IFS SMEs recommended referring to the following community post, which includes some useful workarounds:

Hope this helps!

Just a thought… 

have you condisder using Media Library with TEXT type media items

  This provides:
  - Out-of-the-box capability
  - Minimal setup required
  - Appears in Attachments/Media Library panel
  - Users can click to open SharePoint documents
  - Works with POs (PurchaseOrder), WOs (ActiveWorkOrder/ShopOrd), and other LUs
