Panel Link

A panel link is a control on a Custom Panel that links to another Custom Panel. Define the link in the panel link section of the properties tab.

Controls can be managed in the Custom Panel designer and, once the Custom Panel is activated, utilized by the end user. This control must be linked to another Custom Panel to function properly.
