Multiple Hyperlink Paths

LauraGiboo — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 19:28:49 GMT

We have Arc users who are disconnected from the network all day and others are connected to the network all day. Basically, I want a way to build a smart hyperlink tool that when clicked with look in multiple locations for the hyperlink source.

The feature class has a text field called "DWG" that has the document name in it (i.e. UC-D-0145.pdf). This field will be used for the hyperlink tool.

1. Look to our SharePoint Site (if not there), then:

2. Look at our network L drive (if not there), then:

3. Look at the local computer drive C.

All three of these locations are set up the same:

<sharepoint website>/ts/gt/DwgsMisc/<document name>

L:\TS\GT\DwgsMisc\<document name>

C:\TS\GT\DwgsMisc\<document name>

Any ideas on how to accomplish the task above?

Thanks in advance!!

so something like the code sample that you can use in field based hyperlinks?

Using Hyperlinks—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop

you would have to write your own code though... python has try-except blocks that when used with a time test, might work
