Web Links Library Block
Web Links is the library block that serves as a support library for setting the XML
configuration file for an external web application. You can create multiple library
blocks of this type per library.
NOTE:
Only Headquarter experts and Customer Support are authorized to modify the
web links at L1-Headquarter level.
The customization of L1-Headquarter to a lower level is not supported by web
links.
Depending on the allowed customization level, authorized experts can create and
modify web links at L2-Region, L3-Country, or L4-Project level.
You can set the external web application XML configuration file from the Extended
Operation tab.

For procedures or workflows, see the step-by-step [➙ 166] section.
Overview of Application Viewer
To interact with discipline-specific systems, external web applications that are
integrated in the software can display in the Application Viewer tab, depending on
the display rules that have been configured. Both Internet Explorer
TM
11 and
Essential Objects WebBrower based on Google Chrome
TM
are supported viewers.
How Web Applications Display
If only one rule matches the selection in System Browser, the Application Viewer
tab will display the corresponding external web application.
If multiple rules match the selection in System Browser, the Application Viewer tab
will display a list of all the available applications from which you can select the one
to display.
Applications display in alphabetical order. Each application is identified by a name.
When you click Show you can select the external web application to display. The
menu shows a maximum of 10 items in the list. By clicking See more..., you return
to the Application Viewer tab which again presents the complete list of applications.
You cannot change the order of the applications in the list.
If you change your selection in System Browser and the reference objects have the
same external web application, the Application Viewer tab will refresh and display
the corresponding application, but with the parameter values of the second object
selected.
If an external web application supports the single sign-on feature, logon is not
required when you select it.
