Internal Bookmarks

When creating a Bookmark to any page or grid in PCR-360, it is considered 'Best Practice' to use the short syntax link to create the 'Bookmark'. Using the Short syntax method will help prevent unexpected behaviors when traveling to the bookmarked page. The User should locate the text in the link that follows '.com', '.edu', or '.org' etc. and copy ONLY that text into the link. For example, assume that the User wanted to create a Bookmark to the Equipment Catalog as a 'Custom Bookmark'.

The full URL path for this page is 'pcr360.pcr.com/eqp-catalog/'. In this case, the User should ONLY select the '/eqp-catalog/' to copy into the 'Link Location' field as in the example below.
