System Administration - Broken Links Utility

This utility is for Linko software users upgrading from version 13.3 or earlier.  It will allow you to see a list of all the files that were attached or linked in earlier versions of the software.  It will then inventory those files, identifying which still exist at the location they were linked and which are missing.

 

 

Click Start Here: Check For Broken Links and Linko will get a list of all files attached in version 13.3 or earlier and determine if they exist.  The screen below will be displayed.

 

After completion you can toggle betwee Missing Files and Found Files

 

 

Missing Files – Files that Linko can’t find.  The path to the file is not valid or the file has been moved or deleted.  Follow the on screen instructions to either delete or try to find the file.

 

Use Report to PDF to generate a report that includes more details about the Linko record the file was attached to.  This allows you to go to that area of the software to further investigate the file.

 

Found Files – These files exist, but they are not within the Linko Attachments repository. We recommend you Move these files to the Linko Repository so there is no chance of them going missing again in the future

 

Use Report to PDF to generate a report that includes more details about the Linko record the file was attached to.  This allows you to go to that area of the software to further investigate the file.

 

Use Move Selected to actually move the file from it’s current location and place it into the Linko Attachments Respository.  The file will no longer exist at is original location.

 

Use Copy Selected to place a copy of the file into the Linko Attachments Respository.  The original file stays as is.  If you select this option, you should then archive the original, place it where it can not be accidentally edited or mistaken as the File of Record.

 

Use Delete Selected to remove the attachment record from the software altogether.  This DOES NOT delete the file, just the reference to it in the Linko software.
