Reusable Attributes - URL to LAN folder

[Alberto]

Hello, I'd create a new reusable attributes (type) to put a link to a file in share lan folder.

for examples:

\\test.com\data\temp\xxx.pfd

I done all but it doens't work, when I tri to click on oi, Windchill give me this error:

How can I add an attributes with a link to open a PDF file?

Hi @Alberto 

Check a final link that is opened. There would be prefix with server/Windchill/...

Try to use  "file://" in the beginning of the URL

Generally I had trouble to use OOTB URL attribute.

The OOTB behavior couldn't meet customer needs and could be difficult to use URL attribute to point an external storage that way.

I would use custom DataUtility which builds correct URL link for a user.

Thanks a lot for your answer 😉

The only one limitation is that I need to use Internet Explorer (as mentioned in the CS134794). This is no good but I don't find another solution.
