Create or update the link to the specified object and add the link in the MFPublicLink table. A join can then be used to access the link and include it in any custom view.

Additional Info

If you are making updates to a record and want to set the public link at the same time then run the shared link procedure after setting the process_id and before updating the records to M-Files.

The expire date can be set for the number of weeks or month from the current date by using the dateadd function (e.g. Dateadd(m,6,Getdate())).
