Assignment notification

David Foner

Hi, 

I'm trying to get the default notification for a new assignment to show the web link and not the link to the "regular" client . 

I tried to add the placeholder %VNEXTWEBURL%  but this doesn't seem to work. It also doesn't work if I try 
this in the individual notification in the workflow. I'm obviously missing something with the formatting. 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for replying.   There is nothing in the home page .
    When I login on the web version I just use the IP address and it works just fine.   what do I need to put here ? 

    Thanks for the help

    David,

    As it is explained on the configuration page you need to enter the relevant URL that points to your M-Files web home page. The notification placeholders use that URL to create the hyperlinks. The links won't work without it.

    I don't think you can use the IP address directly. Encryption uses a SSL certificate that is issued to a domain (or sub domain), and it won't work on the IP address directly. So before you can get the notification hyperlinks to work you need to get the configuration sorted for secure web access using RPC over HTTPS or gRPC. When that is in place you will have the proper URLs for the M-Files web page.

    I suppose you can still configure M-Files to connect without encryption. That would be a very risky approach unless the entire network is protected with other measures.

    It actually works... up to a point .  I now  get a link:

    http://172.20.5.19/Default.aspx?#ABDAFCF1-1B3F-4E5E-8A75-342904F02CA1/object/B3F5A385-10AA-41DC-89EB-4F319796A2F7/latest

    However, this doesn't work .  IF I logon to M-files and right click on "Get M-files web URL" I get the follwing link which does work

    http://172.20.5.19/Default.aspx?Applet=false#ABDAFCF1-1B3F-4E5E-8A75-342904F02CA1/object/B3F5A385-10AA-41DC-89EB-4F319796A2F7/latest

    If I compare the links then I see that the top link is missing "Applet=false".  Any idea how I can fix this ?

    TNX !
