Hello everyone,
How can I display an field in ArcGIs Online that is ahyperlink in ArcMap/ArcCatalog and opens a folder when clicked
Sample:
FILE:///\\,server>\folder\subfolder
It will not be able to open a folder using the OS file explore app. The best you could do is to host it as a virtual directory and allow directory browsing so you can get a list of files and folders in the browser.
It's my understanding that this is a security measure put in place so local files cannot be opened via a link. You'll probably have to host the file online somewhere as mentioned above.
When using a virtual directory, is there a way to open a specific folder?
file:///<virtual directory>/folder/subfolder
Sure. Make the virtual directory at the highest level necessary and you can browse down from there in the url just like you would expect. For example, \temp\virtualdir on the server (or some network drive, etc) could be hosted as a virtual directory and accessed from web browser like https://hostname/iis_virtual_directory_name/someinsidefolder/anotherfolder (assuming those folders exist inside the virtualdir location).
Again though, you will need to have directory browsing enabled if you're going to view the contents of a folder.
