Automated Tutorial

You can set the following on this page, then click the Save button to save the changes:

AppLink Action:

• Copy:  Puts the AppLink URL onto your system clipboard. You may paste the AppLink URL into any other document. (If you are using a Netscape browser or a NIC computer: a page will appear, with the AppLink URL on top and an email message on the bottom. Copy either the URL or the sample email, and paste it into an email message, using Control-C, or Command-C on the Macintosh).

  Note:  If you are using Netscape, a window will appear with the AppLink URL. You will need to manually copy the URL, and paste it into the desired document.

• Mail: Click to create an email with the AppLink (you need to set a default mail program). Send this to anyone you want to access your file. (NIC  users - the system currently doesn't support default mailers. You will need to copy the AppLink URL, and paste it manually into an email to send it).

• Status: Active AppLinks can be viewed. Inactive AppLinks can not be accessed by the recipient(s).
• URL: The AppLink URL can be viewed and copied to the system clipboard using the Control-C or Command-C keyboard commands.

Access Permissions
This section allows you to restrict access to the document:

• Full or Restricted Permission: Full Permission allows the recipient to open the file, print it, or download it to his/her computer. Restricted permission allows you to disable opening, printing, and/or downloading the file by the recipient.
• Require Password: If checked, this requires the recipient to enter a password of your choice to access the document. Check the checkbox and enter the desired password.

Modify Permissions
Checking "Allow recipient to modify this document" allows the recipient to modify the document and return the changes to you:

• Copy Modified Document: When the recipient completes his or her modifications to the document, the modified document will be placed in your account in a folder named "AppLink (returned)" directly below the original document.
• Overwrite Original Document: The modified document will overwrite the original document stored in your account. The original document will be lost.
• Enable "Track Changes":The recipient's changes to the document will be automatically highlighted in the modified document returned to the sender. This feature is only available for applications that support the "Track Changes" functionality, for example Microsoft Word.

Number of Accesses: 
Checking "Unlimited" allows an unlimited number of "hits", or accesses. Checking "Limited to this number" limits the total number of "hits" to the number entered in the field.

Access Duration
The AppLink can have Unlimited duration, or you can set a date range. Set the month, day and year for the AppLink to begin and end.
