Let's take a look at three browsers for the command line. They're niche, but still get the job done. Web browsers that run in a terminal window are alive and kicking. You'd think that browsing the web at the command line would have gone the way of the tag. Jump forward to these days of web browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and a few others. Some of use visited web pages using command-line, text-only browsers like the venerable Lynx. A time when most of us went online using low-powered PCs or dumb terminals, often over slow dial-up connections. Let's take a trip back in time to the early, simpler days of the web. Select the eLink to open the associated web site.( Note: This post was first published, in a slightly different form, at and appears here via a CC-BY-SA 4.0 license.).From any screen in Nexsure, click ELINKS on the Primary menu.A separate browser will be opened for the link and the parameters from the link will be passed into the web site. Select an eLink to open the associated web site.Also, if no links have been set up by the Nexsure administrator, a message is displayed showing that no active links are available. Note: The ELINKS link on the Primary menu may be called something different depending on how the Nexsure administrator named the link. Once in the client screens, click ELINKS on the Primary menu.On the search tab, click the Details icon next to the appropriate client name.To Transmit Organization-Wide Information Quickly navigate to procedures included in this topic by clicking one of the links below: If all client level information is required (not marked as optional), the eLink will not be displayed on the menu until the staff member has accessed a Client within Nexsure. If all client specific data within an eLink is marked optional the eLink may show up from any page within Nexsure. Important: When the Nexsure administrator sets up an eLink, some transferable data may be marked as optional. As soon as Client B is selected, then the Client A data will be overwritten. If an eLink with client level information is used again, even if on the HOME screens, Client A's information will still be sent. If the staff member navigates to the HOME screens, the Client A information is still saved in the Nexsure session. For example, Client A is chosen and the eLink is selected to successfully send the Client A information. Nexsure stores the last client accessed and will send information from that client until a new one is selected.

When accessing an eLink that requires client information, be sure the appropriate client has been accessed before clicking the eLink. If the data to be transmitted is at the organization-wide level, the staff member can be in any of the Nexsure screens. When using the eLinks option, keep in mind that if specific client information needs to be transmitted, the staff member transmitting the information must be within the specific client's screens in Nexsure. The purpose is to be able to transmit data from Nexsure so that copying and pasting information from Nexsure into another tool is not necessary. The eLinks option can be set up to pass information from Nexsure into another web-based application or tool. You are here: Primary menu > Using eLinks Using eLinks
