Currently there is 1 link to a website/file. This will only benefit if the website/link is easy to access and use with a HL.
Some Vendors provide manuals in PDF form. Add an option to add a file, PDF, PPT, Word to the HL Guide.
When working on a task and a part needs to be replaced, opening the associated Bill of Materials (BOM) with an exploded parts view and part number information will help the technician locate the correct part to order.
Then they can link to the ordering system and place the order for the correct part, they will have the BOM in front of them to refer to.
Also, sometimes how something works is explained using PPT/Word files, so adding them for a reference would also help when performing a task.
Comments
External web links are not allowed due to security concerns.
Also, the file we would access on a website/server would be large. Vendor BOM files are typically 240MB for everything on the tool.
In the situation outlined above, I wanted to add a smaller PDF file (200kb) that would open just like a photo. Then the weblink can be used to go to our internal part ordering process. This would enable us to look at a exploded drawing view, select the vendor part number then open the part ordering weblink and enter the information.
In other words I am asking to put additional media panels, to be used for images, pdfs, and weblinks.

This can be done with the embedded web link on a guide step.
