Link Templates

Link Templates are link profiles containing link type, time between activities constraints, scheduling constraints, and assignment constraints. Links between the activities are created with the help of Link Templates.

Linked activities ensure scheduling and detailed planning for complicated, multi-step tasks, which may potentially involve different resource types, different times, and time constraints. Configuring all these link constraints in a multi-step task allows our routing engine to assign and schedule activities while meeting all of the requirements.

The Link Templates page includes the list of link types that exist in the application. You can edit the existing links and add new ones. You cannot remove the existing activity link types, you can only deactivate them.

Access to the Link Templates page is controlled by the Link Templates visibility profile permission. You must set this permission for each user type that you want to manage Link Templates. If the action is not configured for the user type or if no visibility is defined, Link Templates is not visible to the user. If you select ReadOnly, Link Templates is available in the view only mode. If you select Read/Write for this setting, the user can manage Link Templates.
