Brief summary of this article:
This mashup (custom add-on) allows to see the pages by links you've provided in a URL and Template URL custom field as an additional tab on an entity view, so that you can work with the external pages and documents straight in Targetprocess.
The mashup can not be used together with the Customized Detailed View. When a customized layout is enabled, an embedded page is to be added right at Settings > Detailed Views. For more details check the article.
For example, if Google Docs application is used to keep documentation related to User Stories, you can create a custom field "Google Doc" and specify there links to appropriate google documents for each User Story. This document will be reflected as a new tab on a User Story view.
Activation
The mashup can be activated by Administrators of your Targetprocess account.

tab. More on how to add a field. - Install the mashup from the Targetprocess Mashups Library. Navigate Settings > Mashups menu item for this purpose.
- Find the mashup in the list of installed ones. Change its code in order to specify which custom fields you'd like to see as an embedded page on a User Story view:

Usage
