Description
You can register a document once and then link the document to all records in Isah the document is related to, such as customers, suppliers and parts (over 60 different Isah items). For example, you could link the same assembly instructions to several parts. The links are defined in theT_DocumentDetail table.
Managing Document Links
Create Document Links based on the IISDMDocumentLinks interface. The document object contains a DocumentLinks object that includes methods for adding and deleting document links.
Use the Refresh method to read all links into the DocumentLinks object. The object contains a list of all Isah items the document is linked to.
The following example shows how to add a link to part 0. At last, it shows the number of document links.
Dim oDocument As IDMLink.Document
Set oDocument = New IDMLink.Document
oDocument.DocId = 224538
Try
oDocument.Refresh()
oDocument.AddDocumentLink 12, "0"
MsgBox "Number of links: " & oDocument.DocumentLinks.Count
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox "Document 224538 is not present."
End Try
The following example shows how to delete the last document link and subsequently shows the list of remaining links.
Dim oDocument As IDMLink.Document
oDocument = New IDMLink.Document
oDocument.DocId = 224538
Try
oDocument.Refresh()
oDocument.DocumentLinks.Delete(oDocument.DocumentLinks.Count -1)
MsgBox "Number of links: " & oDocument.DocumentLinks.Count
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Document error: " & ex.Message)
End Try
