Linking to another task/analysis in the description

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

I’ve created a task and an analysis that work together so I’d like to link from one to the other and vice versa. This way if other people run the task they can click on the link in the description to jump to the results or if they try to view the results and realise they hadn’t scanned a certain PC they can click this to jump to the task.

The task runs a scan under the current user account and saves a TXT file with the results of the scan. The analysis imports the results of that scan into BigFix as a property. We can them view the results in BigFix or pull the info into a report.

I tried to find other things in BigFix that did this behaviour but couldn’t figure out the coding enough to make the change. One seemed to point directly to the fixlet as a number within a site but I was unable to duplicate it.

The task name is “Detect Network Drives” and the Analysis is “Network Drives detection results” if that information is required.

Hey Shane,

When you are creating the custom Task / Analysis, click on the the icon in the editor to allow you to insert a session relevance expression (it will look like a wizard hat or a wand with a star)…

Your relevance expression will look like:

link of bes fixlet whose (name of it = “Detect Network Drives”)

Put one of these in each Analysis/Task pointing to the other one…

Thank you for your help. That worked perfectly. I’m trying to set up my custom items to make sense to the people that aren’t living in BigFix like I am (For when I’m on leave or sick).
