What is ImageNow Linking and how does one Link?

After quality assuring a document or batch of documents, you need to link your documents to the appropriate records in your business application. Linking occurs in the ImageNow Viewer when the batch is in link mode. When you link a document, some or all of its document key values are copied from the selected record in the business application. These are the values that allow ImageNow to retrieve the linked document from the ImageNow Server whenever the matching record in the business application is open. While working in Link mode, you can discard a page, relink a page, and link groups of pages. You can also suspend linking and resume the task at a later time.
