# Cloud-Based PLM Software Connection

If you use cloud-based PLM software, Fashionupdater allows you to connect internal application models with the corresponding models in the PLM software. This facilitates quick access to model specifications in the PLM.

### **Setup Instructions**

1. **Workspace Link Configuration**:
   * Navigate to your Workspace settings.
   * Go to the "PLM Link" field and enter the main URL for accessing your PLM.

     **Example**: `https://company.plm.com`.
2. **Specific Model Linking**:
   * Select a model in Fashionupdater.
   * Click the "Edit details" button.
   * Enter the specific URL that corresponds to the model in the PLM software.\
     **Example**: `https://company.plm.com/article/123456789`.
3. **Using the Link for Quick Access**:
   * After saving the changes, the "Open PLM" button will appear in the top right corner.
   * Clicking "Open PLM" will redirect you directly to the corresponding model sheet in the PLM.

**Note**: This link provides direct access to model information in the PLM, making consultation more efficient and faster.

**PLM Access and Permissions:** Accessibility to the PLM system is conditioned by individual user permissions and configurations established within the PLM itself. While Fashionupdater does not directly modify or manage data within the PLM, it has introduced a new direct link functionality. These links, assignable in the model detail editing area, offer a quick and direct method to access relevant information in the PLM system.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.fashionupdater.app/en/workspace-management/model-operations/plm-connection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
