The most common type of Feature Link is one to open a file, such as a floor plan image or pre-plan. This option allows the user to browse to the desired file and automatically populates the Run Script section with the correct values. When changing an existing link, browse will replace the existing link with the updated one.
Supported file types: AVI (*.avi), BMP (*.bmp), CSV (*.csv), GIF (*.gif), JPEG (*.jpg *.jpeg *.jfif), JSON (*.json), Microsoft Office (*.doc *.docx *.ppt *.pptx *.xls *.xlsx), MP4 (*.mp4), MPEG (*.mpg *.mpeg), Open Document (*.odp *.ods *.odt), PDF (*.pdf), PNG (*.png), Text (*.txt), TIF (*.tif *.tiff), XML (*.xml)
