Question

I Need to link to a Laserfiche document from a Laserfiche Mobile Form

Forms Laserfiche Mobile Search and Retrieval

I have a Chemical Application Form. It is going to be used by our Public Works Department to track usage etc.

Once the chemical is selected I want to have a link available that will open the safety information document (stored in LF), so the applicator can have access to all the safety information.

I don't seem to be able to link to a repository document from within a form being accessed using Laserfiche Mobile. I have been through many posts, and it seems there is not a solution?

Can you help? Is there a solution? I can navigate in Laserfiche Mobile, to the Repository and to the particular document, but am not able to access the doc via a link in the form.

Thanks for listening, this has been intense (trying to figure this out).

It looks like this has been on the wish list for at least 5 or 6 years. Can it be done now?

The only way that I can think of to do this is to keep a database table that has the links saved so that you can use a database lookup to fill a hidden URL field (which you would then reference using a visible HTML field that uses the URL field as the link target) in the form in real-time. If maintaining a separate database table just for this is too much work, you could alternatively use a workflow to generate the link after submission and then you could update the submitted form with that link or show a new form assigned to the submitter that also displays the link.

Thanks Kevin,
That was actually one of the things I tried earlier today.

Do you have a situation where this has worked for you with Laserfiche Mobile?

Thanks,

You should be able to use the same URL you would use for the web client, but replace https:// with "LFMobile://"

I did give this a try, but get:

Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found.

Thanks for being willing to help.
