Opening Laserfiche URL's from within the App

Forms Mobile
Updated April 24, 2023
asked on March 21, 2019

Hi,

We recently added some hyperlinks in a Laserfiche Form to open another Laserfiche Form using the following syntax:

lfmobileforms://MyFormsServer/Forms/MyFormName

This works as intended using the App. When the user clicks the link, it directs them to a new form.

What is the syntax for directing the user to a document within the Repository when using the App?

We aim to use a search so I was hoping to use the following:

lfmobile://MyAppServer/mobile/index.aspx?db=MyRepository#search=MyEncodedSearchSyntax;view=search

Again, we will be clicking the hyperlink from a Laserfiche Form.

Kind regards,

Dom

Hi Dom, The Mobile app doesn't support linking directly to a saved search, which we can consider as a future enhancement. Right now, you could add an HTML file with the parameters in it to your repository, link to that document, and when it's opened, it should run the search (support documentation below).

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for your response. smiley

Following on with your solution; I have tried multiple variations of the hyperlink referencing an Entry ID but I cannot seem to get any to work. As a test I added a Custom HTML box with the following:

<p><a href="lfmobile://MyServer/mobile/index.aspx?db=MyRepository#id=MyEntryID;view=pages" target="_blank">Open document</a><br></p>

It opens the prompt to "switch applications" but does not do anything! If I run this from something else (ex. Microsoft Word) it works though.

 

Thanks,

Dom

May be worth noting this guide is misleading

https://www.laserfiche.com/support/webhelp/Laserfiche/10/en-US/administration/#../Subsystems/LFMobileAdmin/Content/Installation_and_Configuration/Creating_URLs.htm

 

You can also apply other parameters to the URL to open electronic documents, quick searches, or other searches.

  • Electronic document: lfmobile://servername/mobile/ElectronicFile.aspx?db=repositoryname&id=id
  • Quick search: lfmobile://servername/mobile/index.aspx?db=repositoryname#quicksearch=searchquery;view=search
  • Search query: lfmobile://servername/mobile/index.aspx?db=repositoryname#search=searchquery;view=search

Have tried as well and cannot get it to work.  Am now including instructions on how to go to the repository in Laserfiche mobile (away from the form) to find the document referenced in the form.  Would really like to be able to link to the document from the form.
