Displaying a case hyperlink

The CaseMap SharePoint Web Parts site allows you to display a case hyperlink so case staff can open a CaseMap SQL case in CaseMap directly from the site page. The case hyperlink only works internally inside your organization's Intranet; it will not work on a public Internet site.
