Creating Permanent Links to Data Records

Application users have an easy way of exchanging links to data records in Code On Time web apps. This feature can be enabled in the project settings.

Start creating a sample Northwind web application. When you reach the Features page, switch to the Permalinks and History section using the box on the left side of the screen. Toggle the checkbox next to “Enable permalinks to allow bookmarking of master records selected by end users”.

Press Next until you reach the Themes page. Select “Ricasso” theme.
