URL fields exist for the configuration of URLs in various points of the configuration like process, status, results, etc.

These fields allow the user to open a document or application when clicking on the button that appears after having clicked on a certain element in the data grids that are in almost every window of the application.

In order to configure the URLs it is necessary to follow this syntax:

COMPLETE_PATH_TO_DOCUMENT_OR_APPLICATION1 = CLICABLE_SHOW_TEXT1,
COMPLETE_PATH_TO_DOCUMENT_OR_APPLICATION2 = CLICABLE_SHOW_TEXT2,
COMPLETE_PATH_TO_DOCUMENT_OR_APPLICATIONn = CLICABLE_SHOW_TEXTn

Where:

    • COMPLETE_PATH_TO_DOCUMENT_OR_APPLICATION is the complete text so that the computer which executes the terminal can open the document or device, for example:
      Z:\MANUALS\MACHINE_MAINTENANCE_MANUAL.PDF
    • CLICABLE_SHOW_TEXT is the text that will appear and where the user must click in order to open the URL. Various separated URLs can be indicated by comma.

Example: Z:\MANUALS\MACHINE_MAINTENANCE_MANUAL.PDF = Maintenance Manual

How to verify URLs?

To verify if the URLs configured in a specific device work, we recommend to follow these steps:

  1. Go to the device which you want to verify. Continue the following steps physically from that device.
  2. With edinn administrator permission, open the configuration of the URL (processes, statuses, results, etc.) which is not working. Copy to the windows clipboard the part of the URL which corresponds to the path to the file, application, web page, files folder, etc., that you wish to open.
  3. Now we will try to execute, from the device, what you copied in the previous step: you can use the key combination Windows + R and paste, or use the Windows Tasks Administrator (its menú option appears with the combined keys CTRL+ALT+SUPR) and select File and Execute New Task and then paste what you copied in the previous step. Click Enter to execute.
  4. If what you wanted to open, does not show up, you should find out why because it is not a problem of the edinn platform. Otherwise, please report it to our support indicating that you have already followed this procedure.
