Shortcuts to external files
You can use shortcuts to open external files. The shortcut target must use a special syntax to indicate the path to the file.
Can be used in
- Axiom forms
- Favorites
- Ribbon tabs
- Task panes
Syntax
You can link to external files using the following syntax as the Shortcut Target:
file://PathToFile
Where PathToFile is the network path to the file outside of the Axiom file system.
For example:
file://N:\CorporateFiles\BudgetInstructions.DOC
file://\\CorporateServer\CorporateFiles\BudgetInstructions.DOC
Shortcut parameters
Shortcut parameters do not apply to external files.
Remarks
- When the shortcut is used, the referenced file will open in its associated application. If the file is an Excel file type and the user is currently in the Excel Client, then the file will open within Axiom Software.
- The current user must be able to access the file path in order to open the external file, and the current machine must have an installed program that is capable of reading the file.
