Jim2® Business Engine Help File

Throughout Jim2 many of the words beside fields shown on forms are actually hidden hyperlinks, which can take you to another form. On a quote form, for example, if you move the cursor over the word Cust# beside its field it will change to a blue underlined hyperlink.

Hover over the field

Wording changes to underlined blue

 

If you left mouse click this link you can select View CardFile, View Debtor, Create (object) List, etc. See below for information on what you will see when you hover over Cust# in different objects.

To go back to the original form (which is underneath) you should simply close the current form.

 

This is the manner in which these hyperlinks work for most forms within Jim2. The important thing to realise is that, unlike most web hyperlinks, the hyperlinks on Jim2 forms appear to be normal text until the cursor hovers over it, as seen above.

 

It's only when you move the cursor over the field that the hyperlink will actually appear.

 

The hyperlink on a card file is:
