Collateral Information & Setup

TurnLink allows you to add Collateral that is globally available to all TurnLink users in various areas of the application. You can add documents to be available for emailing as attachments or links in the body of the email, Rich Text Format (RTF) documents to merge with mail merge operations, and Excel Workbook (.xls) files to be used as Order, Products Carried, and Promotion report templates.

There are 3 ways to actually add collateral to your TurnLink Sales Manager account and they differ in the method which the actual file is transferred to the internet from your computer the first time during setup only:
  1. You can setup your TurnLink account to actually push the files to the web via FTP for you. 
  2. You can FTP the file through your own FTP Client (such as Filezilla, Internet Explorer, or countless other methods) and then tell TurnLink where the file is located by entering the URL directly into the Collateral setup process.
  3. You can store the file in a Google Drive account through the TurnLink interface.
