What "Share Link" Means on a Product Page
A share link is the direct, copyable URL that points to a specific product or category page. On a Thinvent listing, that link carries the exact configuration you are looking at — processor, memory, storage, operating system and port options — so whoever opens it sees the same item rather than a generic search result. Sharing is done with the browser's own copy-address control, the share icon on the page, or a simple copy-and-paste into email, chat or a procurement portal. No account or login is required for the recipient to view the page.
What a Good Shared Link Should Contain
A link is only useful if the person on the other end can act on it. When you share a configuration such as an industrial PC with an Intel® Core™ i3-1215U (6 cores, up to 4.4 GHz, 10 MB cache), 16 GB DDR4 and a 1 TB SSD, it helps to paste the full product URL rather than a shortened one, and to add the key specs in the message itself. Many buyers also include the intended operating system — Windows 11 Pro, Windows 11 IoT, DOS, or an embedded Linux build — because the same chassis is offered in several software variants, and the port layout (for example, four DB9 serial ports versus standard I/O) changes the exact part number.
| What to include | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Full product or category URL | Opens the exact page, not a search results list |
| Processor model and core count | Confirms the performance tier being quoted |
| RAM and SSD capacity | Prevents mismatched quotations between teams |
| Operating system option | Separates Windows, DOS and Linux SKUs |
| Port or expansion variant | Serial, HDMI and USB layouts differ per SKU |
| Quantity and target date | Lets the supplier respond with a concrete offer |
When Sharing Links Is Useful
Shared links are the fastest way to move a specification between an engineer, a purchase officer and an integrator. A plant engineer who has already matched a fanless industrial PC to a machine-retrofit project can send the exact page to a colleague for approval; a systems integrator can forward the same link to an end customer so both parties are quoting the identical unit.
