File directory Hyperlink in an attribute table.

GregCarlino2

Greetings,

I have a set of As-built diagrams (as PDFs) that I would like to link to specific features within the attribute table of a storm sewer network. Using the specified syntax for a file directory location allows for the hyperlink to be created and accessed through Pop-ups by users of ArcGIS Pro.

However, I would really like to get these hyperlinks into a Web App Builder/Experience Builder app. Unfortunately, this link fails when published as a web map to our Portal. Is this a limitation of using file directory locations? I can't find it explicitly stated in the Enterprise documentation. I am aware that hyperlinking via URLs works, but was hoping to avoid setting up a web server for the diagram PDFs.

Does anybody know for certain?

Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg, I do not believe this is supported. Refer to this documentation:

Supported HTML for configuring the website—Portal for ArcGIS | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise

HTML considerations

Keep the following in mind:

HTML tags not listed in the table above are not supported and will be filtered out.
Allowed protocols for href and src are https, http, tel, and mailto.
Tags are automatically closed if not closed.
<>&s are escaped outside of legal tags if not escaped using <>&&quot.
UNC links are not supported.
When an a tag is used, the href target URL always opens in a new browser tab.

Rhett,

This is very helpful. I have taken this up with our IT Dept, and asked if they are willing to allow this. With any luck, they will.

Thank you,

Greg

Hi Jonathan,

It always helps to see what can/cannot be done in writing. No need waste more time on trying the UNC route. It looks like URLs are the most viable way forward.

Thanks,

Greg

If you are running Enterprise Portal, aren't you already running a web server?

If so, You can create a virtual directory on your web server that points to the location of the PDF file(s).

You can then use the http://server/adaptor/virtualdirectory/file.pdf URL format to open the PDF file(s).
