This article describes how to copy and share direct links to Alloy Navigator Express objects and activities. You can copy a link from a data view, an object detail form, or an individual activity, then paste it into chat, email, documentation, or another application. The recipient can use the link to open the exact item without searching for it.
NOTE: Recipients can open shared links only if they have access to Alloy Navigator Express and permission to view the referenced object based on their access rights and workspace membership.
