The LinkInfo business rule displays attributes from other
modules or workspaces in an element by using links.
For example, module A contains an incoming links attribute
with links from module B. With the LinkInfo business rule, you can
display attribute values of module B in module A.
Note: - The LinkInfo business rule cannot be used in the Prefix attribute.
- The LinkInfo business rule does not log history.
Prerequisites
- A Link, LinkList, or Incoming Links attribute in the target module
- A business rule container attribute in the target module. This
attribute must be a Text attribute.
Format

To display the LinkInfo data in a matrix, before
the first attribute name in the second parameter, insert a comma:=LinkInfo("Link Attribute Name",",Attribute Name1,Attribute Name2,Attribute Name3","Member ID",'Link Attribute Name')
