[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Question re: Linking Finding Aids

[Solek, VivianLea]

Good morning,

I have external word documents for my finding aids. I would like to link those into the top level record for a record group or collection. I tried putting the location (full file name) in the external documents field. It has hyperlinked the name, but when I try to click on the link to the pdf, it is not opening the document.

Do the files have to live on the same server as my ASpace instance? What am I doing wrong?

Also, is there a better place to link external finding aids?

MANY thanks!
VivianLea
