Add/Modify Link Overview
This screen allows you to Link any two contact names in your Advisors Assistant database, and show how they are related. This is extremely useful for quickly seeing how various contact names in your database relate to each other and, like most things, these fields are available for searches for the purposes of Reports.
The names you have Linked can also be used for automating your applications. Additional information is available in the Application Automation Help.
