send link to web and PC client

I don't believe there would be any way to achieve this via a single link....that's not really an M-Files issue though. That's just a natural limitation....Windows is associating the type of link, e.g. http:// or m-files:// with an application.

In my organization, we sent out two links for each document. (If it's a lot of documents, we use document collections and send links to those.)

I agree it would be nice to have a built-in option to generate an M-Files web/http link.

That being said, one option would be to have a custom property that calls up a script to generate the unique weblink for each document. You could then copy and paste this displayed property as needed.

M-Files consulting can do this for you in no time or someone may be willing to post a sample code and instructions here.

Being able to easily generate "hybrid" hyperlinks that would contain both the m-files URL and Web Access link (https link) is something that we have on the backlog but unfortunately, I do not yet have timeline for this improvement.

Hi,

I want generate automatically an URL M-Files/show with criteria from my ERP to show all documents of a specific project.
By example :
m-files://show/{Vault_Id}?class=xProject&ProjectName=123456

I don't find a documentation with the syntax for this URL

Thanks for your help

Check this Knowledge Base article for M-Files URL parameters:

Many thanks Mika,

This documentation is perfect, I have the responses at all my questions.

I would like to raise this topic little higher.

I think it could be done quite easily that those emails would include both m-files URL and Web Access links. And I think both M-Files client and Web Access could generate same kind of email templates. M-files URL would be attachment and email body would have link to Web Access with some notification text included.

Of course you can generate these both with information from specification, but normal user still can't do this with out some automation.

We plan to add support for "Hybrid Hyperlinks" in the 2015.1 release that will be available in the next few weeks. This feature is called "Combo URLs" in the release.

This is good news. I can't help but wonder if these "hybrid hyperlinks" will be customizable in any way, OR, if they will default to the "view" mechanism. In others, both the "mfiles://" link as well as the https:// link will be for "view file".

Release notes for 2015.1. state:

Improvement: Support for Combo URLs
ID: M-6072, 128245
Description: It is now possible to create combo URLs in M-Files. These hyperlinks essentially contain hyperlinks for all M-Files clients in one package.

I can't seem to find it this functionality in the client (2015.1 - 11.1.4310.92). Does this require some server side configuration?

In the server admin console:

-Select the vault properties
-Advanced tab: specify M-Files Web URL
-Get coffee

that's it
