Custom URL Scheme for LF Mobile app

asked on February 26, 2019

Trying to figure out if there is a custom URL scheme for passing data into the Laserfiche mobile app.

 

I work for an electric co-op. Our crew guys use a mobile mapping app to see our assets/structures mapped out. We are looking at switching off of the structure inspection forms that are built into that app and instead export the metadata of the structure into a LF form, from a URL link we would add to the mapping app.

So the user would click the 'inspect' button, the Field Pro app would open the URL with the metadata we need embedded, and the custom URL scheme would pass that into a form in the LF Mobile app.

Is there anyone who knows if this feature is available through LF Mobile or maybe knows a different way to pass data into the LF Mobile App without having to key it in manually?

Hi Blake, this is an interesting idea for an integration with Field Pro. Unfortunately, there isn't a way at this time to fill out a form in the mobile app using parameters passed in the URL. I am passing this idea to our integrations and Forms teams, though.

Any news on this? Being able to pass parameters via forms URL via mobile would work really well for some activities.

It should already been supported. 

If the URL of the form you want to fill is https://{formsserver}/forms/{processURLfriendlyname} and there is a field with variable name "A", if you can compose the URL to lfmobileforms://{formsserver}/forms/{processURLfriendlyname}?A=test from the external App, when they user click the link in the external app, it will open the form with Mobile and auto populate the field with variable name "A" with value "test".
