Shortcut from one ProjectWise folder to another?

Hello,

Is it possible to create a shortcut in PWE that links to another PWE folder/file?

For Example:  Say I have important files in various PW folders and I would like to make a folder called "Important Files" and create links to all those folders.

Thanks,

Tom F.

  • Yes.  Create a new application that opens files with the .lnk (ell-nk) with Explorer.  Then drag the folder you want to make a shortcut to onto your desktop.  That creates an .lnk file. Drag that .lnk file back into projectwise in your Important Files folder. It's not perfect: if you don't make the files read-only they'll checkout to people. If you make files read-only (or set final status) then users get an annoying popup about the file opening read-only.  Click OK to jump to the folder anyway.
