Is it possible to add a link to a network server file in the About widget?

Jeff,

Sure you can open the About widgets settings in WAB and add your hyperlink by clicking the link button in the settings dialog.

Hello Robert,

I have successfully added links using http but I need to link to a file instead. I was able to do this in the About widget in Operation Dashboard, but linking to a file on a network server is not working in WAB.

Jeff,

I never use actual network link files in a web app (just not good practice). You should take that network share folder and setup a virtual directory in IIS (if that is your web server) that way you have an actual url to use in you about link.
