2. What Dynamics SL database tables are modified by ImageLink?The installation of ImageLink includes inserting several entries into the Dynamics SL's "Screen" table within the "System" database. The purpose of these entries is to register several new screens to Dynamics SL.
The "Custom2" table within the "System" database is also updated. Entries to this table are made via the Customization Import process. This is the installation step where ImageLink access buttons are added to standard Dynamics SL screens.
ImageLink stores information regarding specific document images in the table "xIMIndex" within the application database. This is not a standard Dynamics SL table. "xIMIndex" is created as a step within the ImageLink installation process. Back to Top

5. Within Order Management, can the user see documents pertaining to a line-item inventory ID?Yes. The ImageLink grid shows the documents associated with the current order. It also identifies documents associated with the inventory item within the currently selected Dynamics SL grid line.
Assume, for example: A current order number 000123 is being entered and one document relating to this order has been scanned and one of the line items is for product XXX-ABC.
Also assume: Using one of the inventory screens, such as Inventory Items (10.250.00), a picture of XXX-ABC had been scanned and a word document that describes the product had been dropped into the Drop Zone.
If the grid line that contains the product XXX-ABC is selected and the Images button is clicked, then the ImageLink grid will show three documents available for display. The first two will be related to the product ID; the third is the document that relates to order 000123. You can tell that the first two documents relate to the item rather than the order, since their respective "Ref Nbr" fields within the grid are empty (reference numbers are for Dynamics SL transactions, not inventory items).

6. What must be done when a service pack is applied to Dynamics SL?Very little. ImageLink was developed with Dynamics SL's Tools for Visual Basic. Consequently, there is a tremendous degree of compatibility between ImageLink and the Dynamics SL environment.
Care should always be taken when installing new software and updates. Current backups are required and users should be logged out of the application. The only requirement for ImageLink is that your delta.mnu module must be backed up so that the ImageLink entries can be re-entered after a new delta.mnu has been installed by the Dynamics SL upgrade process.

7. A signed contract must be found in two places: at the customer level & at the actual order within Order Management. Can one document be attached in two places or will it have to be scanned twice?The short answer is that the documents do NOT have to be scanned twice. Here is the long answer:
