Hi all, hope you re having a great day.
Version: Portal for Arcgis 10.5.1
I am trying to add hyperlinks to pdf files stored locally on our local network from the content menu of a layer on the local portal.
Link to files are stored on a geodatabase. I am adding {fieldname} on the hyperlink field. It does go to the right page (s:\test\item27.pdf) as s is the local network folder. However you have to reload for the page for it to load the pdf in the browser.
It does work ok in an old version of IE but does not work in firefox neither in chrome. The user has to reload the page for it to work in firefox and does not work at all in chrome.
I found a workaround by adding the pdf file as a content on the portal content folders and it works.
I know there is a way with Python to populate the portal content folder with all the pdfs but I would prefer a direct link to the local network folder that works as the pdf files can be updated every day by users.
Hope someone has already encountered this issue.
Thank you.
