10 URL's in Teamcenter

10.1 Create new URL objects

You can create a URL object in My Teamcenter by selecting New → URL from the File menu or by clicking My Links in the Quick Links section of the Navigation pane. The URL contains the name of the protocol required to access the resource, a domain name that specifies a specific computer on the Internet, and a hierarchical description of a file path on the computer.

In My Teamcenter, the URL object is created as a child node within the tree. You can set the placement of the new URL object by selecting a parent object in the tree before creating the URL object.

2. select File → New → URL. The New URL dialog box appears.

3. Enter a name for the new URL object in the Name field. The URL name can be up to 20 characters long.

4. In the URL field, enter the URL of the Web page you want to access using this object. The URL must not contain more than 512 characters. The input format used for the URL depends on your browser. For example, if you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, the following formats are allowed: http://www.your-site.com www.your-site.com your-site.com

5. (Optional) In the Description field, type a description of the URL. The description must not exceed 240 characters.

6. (Optional) Select Open during creation if you want the Web page to appear immediately after you create the URL object.

7. Click OK to create the URL object and close the dialog box.

The system displays the new URL object within the selected container in the My Teamcenter tree.
