Maximo 7.5.0.7
I have a custom application that displays all the document attachments in our system. One column on this screen contains a text field populated with the url location to where the document is located. I would like to be able to click that text field and link to that document in our shared location.
Is this possible, I have not been able to figure it out. I have the field type="Link"... Is there an event that I need to reference?
Thanks!
We set something similar up a while back (we're on 7.5). The type needs to be "openurl". I don't believe you can set this from the drop down for the type, I think you are going to have to manipulate it directly in the XML. Then the attribute will be whatever you want the display to be. The URL you want it to open is set in the URL Attribute on the advanced tab of the column properties.
Hope that helps!

Have you looked at Launch In Context?

It looks like the launch in context would be great if I had a known URL link. The application that I am creating has a list of documents displaying their url location from DOCINFO. I would like to be able to click on any of the url's and have that document launched.
Is that possible?
Yes, all our documents and images are accessible via IBM HTTP Server (IHS). Using Maximo 7.5 on WebSphere 7 (Red Hat Linux 64-bit). It is a matter of correctly translating the physical path to a web enabled path on the file server e.g. /ibm/doclinks/images/part.jpg to http://maximo.yourcompany.com/doclinks/images/part.jpg http://maximo.yourcompany.com/doclinks/images/part.jpg
The file path to web URL translation is part of the doclinks configuration.
