send link to web and PC client

Former Member

Hi!

We have an organization with both Web UI (Mac) and PC Client users.  Currently, there is no simple way to send a link to a document that works for both these groups of users.

Do you have plans to improve this in 2015?  For example, in the "Sharing, E-Mail or PDF" menu or the "Create Shortcut" menu?

Thanks!

    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.
