6. Click the Browse button, or click the Browse arrow to see more

search options. The Open dialog box appears.

To link to an independent display file, locate and select the
display file (.pdi) to which you want to link and then click the
Open button. The display name appears in the Action box.

To link to another ProcessBook, locate and select the processbook
file (.piw) to which you want to link and click the Open button.
The file name appears in the Action box.

To link to a display in a ProcessBook, select the Display Search
option from the Browse drop-down and enter criteria to locate the
display you want within the open files. If the display you want is
not in a file that is open, select a different option in the Look in
field. When the display is listed in the Display Search dialog box,
select it and click OK. The name appears in the Action box.

7. In the Level list, click the level at which you want to position the entry

in the ProcessBook hierarchy of entries, or type a number between 1
and 10.

If you are creating the first entry in the ProcessBook, the level is

automatically set to 1 and cannot be changed.

8. Clear the Options check box if you want the absolute path to the file

checked first.

By default, ProcessBook attempts to open a linked display from its

relative path first. If the relative path fails, then the absolute path is checked.

Clearing the Use relative path check box reverses the order in which the
paths are resolved. For new displays, this option is checked by default.

9. Click OK. A linked display entry icon is added to the outline and book

view of the ProcessBook you are developing.

10. Click Save.
