<viewlink name="Detail" type="button">View Detail</viewlink>

<viewlink name="Significant Events" type="button" board="Significant Events">View Significant Events</viewlink>

This tag allows you to jump from one view to another. Useful when used with a List and a Details view.

Attributes:

• name: the name of the view to jump to (case sensitive)
  
• type: controls appearance of viewlink. If type is button, outputs button, if omitted, outputs a hyperlink
• table: If linking to another view that is associated with another table you must specify the table.
  

Tips:

• Useful for list/detail display views.
• Include a returnbutton tag to take you back to the first view.
• A viewlink within the eocrepeatallrecords block will allow you to edit an existing record, whereas a viewlink outside of the eocrepeatallrecords block will create a new record.
  

The <viewlink> tag has been modified in WebEOC 7.2 to allow view linking to views in other boards and to specify the view linking behavior when working with embedded views.
