Action Buttons
In the top of the Document search result screen and the Document detail page you will see several available action buttons. These allow you to perform various actions on the currently selected document(s) - they are greyed out if no document is selected.
Since the buttons are almost redundant on the two pages, the functionality of each button will be described in this common section.
Show Documents
When clicking this button you will be redirected to the Document search result detail page for the selected document(s) from where you will be able to see detailed information about the document(s).
Resend
By pressing the ‘Resend’ button, you can ask Link to resend the message, which will send the original message through Link once more.
The is a number of options when you are resending. To better understand the options explained below we recommend that you read the Document stages article.
Note that if you enter a comment, this will be displayed in the status flow log grid on the Document detail page.
Plain resend
If you don't mark any of the options, the Message In will be resend.
Resend by interchange
If you mark Resend by interchange, and resending the document(s) the flow will start at from the beginning with the disassembling step. Warning: If the incoming file is a batch of documents, the whole batch will be reprocessed and all the documents will go through Link again.
If the ingoing message is a EDIFACT, the same interchange number will be reused.
Resend generate new transmission Id
If you mark Resend generate new transmission Id, a new Transmission Id will be generated on the outgoing interchange, which might prevent the receiver from detecting duplicates.
Manually Handle
If you press this button, you will mark the selected documents with the ‘Ignored’ status. Nothing further will happen. This is typically used if you don't need the document to be processed anyway.
On hold
This button simply changes the status of the selected document(s) to "On hold". This is convenient when you are in the process of sorting out errors in relation to a failed document, and you no longer want it to appear with status "Failed". E.g. there could be reports or alarms set up in relation to failed documents.
Recreate
Sends a request to the sender system to send the document again. This is useful if you discover that the information in the document is not complete or plain wrong. Note that this button requires a plugin to be implemented - advanced users can read more about how to do this in the Link developer guide
Export Files
This button allows you to export the document(s) that you have selected from the list. Note that you can choose to include one or several document stages in your export.
Simply tick the checkboxes corresponding to the desired document stages and click 'Ok' once you're done.
If you're unfamiliar with the concept of document stages and/or the terms "Interchange", "Message" and "CDM", it is highly recommended to read the Document stages section.
Link will now create a ZIP file containing the documents, which you can then download immediately from your browser. This is very convenient when looking for errors or if you would like to take a closer look at some document data in a different tool from Link.
Delete
Clicking this will delete the document. A window asking whether you are sure about the deletion will appear. Press 'Ok' to delete the document. You will then be redirected back to the Tracking Search screen. Note that deleting a document is irreversible!
Show raw document details
This will display all technical details about the document. This function is intended for advanced users / developers for troubleshooting purposes and will not be explained further here.
