A link attribute joins two datasets and creates a relationship between them.
A linked attribute must be created directly on the chosen dataset; an existing attribute cannot be modified to be a linked attribute. Once an attribute is created and saved, only the Index checkbox and the Additional Settings sections can be modified.
In the Vocera Platform Web Console, navigate to Settings > Datasets to view a list of configured datasets. Click the dataset name with which you wish to work, in order to display the details for the dataset.
A link attribute in a starting dataset, such as Beds shown below, displays a navigable link to the associated dataset in the "Link To" column of the Attributes table. A regular attribute does not have a linked dataset, such as the bed_number attribute shown in the Beds dataset.
Click the link name in the "Link To" column to navigate directly to the related dataset. In this example, the Rooms dataset displays.
