Create a dynamic link using an alias

Create a dynamic link to use an existing alias as a shortcut. Dynamic links help prevent having to look up the same source node repeatedly.

  1. In Project view, select a node that has the property value that you want to set through the dynamic link.
  2. In Properties, in the property of interest, select Add Dynamic Link.
  3. Expand either the Aliases folder or the Panel loaders folder to select the alias node to display.
    The information model to which the alias points and the source node of the dynamic link appear.
    Tip: In the dynamic links window, the aliases that you create appear in the Alias folder. Aliases in the Dynamic panel folder are generated automatically.
  4. Select the source node of interest and then choose Select.
The path to the reference node or attribute appears in the property.
