Launch a Custom Link from the Investigator

The Investigator lets you launch a custom user interface or a Web link to view data related to CA Chorus objects. You can access both internal and external links. A custom action button in the Investigator toolbar connects you to the custom links. This button lists the linked user interfaces and Web pages customized for specific object types.

The custom action button is available in the Investigator and in the Custom Investigation modules.

Note: The custom links are configurable through metadata. For more information about configuring custom links, see the CA Chorus Software Development Kit User Guide.

Follow these steps:

1. Launch the Investigator.
2. Select a discipline from the Discipline pane.
3. Select an object type from the object tree.
4. Click the drop-down arrow of the custom action button.

   A drop-down list displays the custom links corresponding to the selected object type. The first link in the list is the default link.

5. Click the appropriate link.

   The corresponding link opens in a new browser tab.

   Note: To launch the default link directly, click the plus (+) sign of the custom action button.
