Link directly to document?

Is there standrad portal solution to allow an external application and/or browser to go directly to a Document Info Record?
For example, I have an external appliation that knows the pertinent DIR information and would like to direct a user directly to it rather than making the user go to the portal and search for it manually.
If this functionality is not available, has anyone done a customization to do this and would share the principle and level of effort?
Thanks!

Save your document in KM . Then create a urliview and give the path of the document in the url property of the iview. Attach the iview to a link on the homepage or elese attach it to a seperate role if you want and let user find the document directly.
Regards;
Anzar.

Well, you could trade it in for a white one!
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Link to Excel document in site throws "Document with same name already open"

I have an Excel document stored in a document library in SP2010. I provided a link to the document in a CEWP on a page. When clicking the link on the page, Excel throws the erorr "Two documents with the same name cannot be opened" error.
When clicking the link in the document library, the Excel workbook opens fine. When hovering over both links, the URL in the status bar is identical. Here is the link in the page:
<span style="width:120px; padding-right:50px;">
<a class="ms-addnew" href="https://mydomain.com/sys/groups/ermcg/RA/Shared%20Documents/RA1.xlsm">
<img src="https://mydomain.com/sys/groups/ermcg/RA/SiteAssets/excelsmall.jpg" style="border:none;vertical-align:middle;"></img> Download to Excel</a>
</span>
Thanks in advance,

Hi jd_hancock,
The scenario is not reproduced in my environment.
I used Fiddler to check whether there are differences between them to download the file, it seems the same and the file also successfully opened in the Content Editor Web Part.
I would suggest you to use the same way to check whether the download process is the same, also, type the url directly in the address bar, whether the document can be opened as expected?
Thanks,
Qiao

Document text now linked to another document - how to remove?

I admit I am new to InDesign and am learning through the proverbial firehose. I have been selecting, copying, and pasting content from one InDesign document into my current working document. Because the new document uses different Character and Paragraph Styles from the old one, I delete the ones that get copied over from the previous document and reassign all the copied text with the current ones. Up until now, this worked without problems. The last time I did this, somehow the imported content linked my current document to the old document I copied it from. So every time I try to modify it in the new document, even the smallest thing like deleting some text, it has to go back and open the old document before it can make the change in the new one. This really slows things down to practically being unusable. How can I break this link to the old document? Thanks! Phil

Hi Peter. I think I have a better understanding of what happened, although I'm not sure why it caused a problem. The best part is, I think I've found a workaround that stops the problem from happening. I had been working with all my InDesign files on a remote network drive, but was unhappy with the file transfer speed. So I copied the whole folder, with all the Documents, Books, Links, and everything, to a local hard drive and started working on them there. I think that is when the problem started happening.
After moving the files to my local drive, the file speed still seemed slow, but I didn't realize until this morning that even when I open the Book on the local drive, it is still pointing to all the documents on the network drive. I only realized this when I looked at the Documents on my local drive, and they were still earlier versions, all the updated documents were still on the network drive. So, suspecting that the problem had something to do with confusion of file locations, I did two things. First, I copied the whole folder AGAIN from the remote drive to my local drive. Then I opened the offending Document directly (not via the Book) and deleted the last section I had copied and pasted from the old Document. This seemed to cure the problem of it always looking for the old Document it was copied from. Then I deleted the Book itself, and am in the process of reconstructing it using all the Documents on the local hard drive folder.
This raises a few questions about the best way to work.
1) Is it better to edit individual documents of a Book by opening them from within the Book, or should I edit them individually, and then update the Book when I am all done? I'm starting to think the latter would give faster response, because the Book would not always have to update all the Documents with every change you make in one of them.
2) When I'm done with the Book, I then want to move the whole package (Book, Documents, Links, Fonts, etc.) to a network drive for access by other users. Will I need to delete and rebuild the Book after I have moved it to the network drive, since otherwise it would still be pointing to the Documents on my local drive? Or is there an easier way?
Also, if you can recommend a good reference with this kind of information, it would be much appreciated. I do have InDesign CS5 Classroom in a Book, but it doesn't have this kind of information.

Link to word document

How to link a PDF, word, & Excel file in fla by clicking
a button?

sorry il try be more clear, ok so the user selects a server from a list as well as adds many other details then clicks the create button so then it is directed to a page with the report.
The report contains the information which the user has just created, so the server name will be there.
Now what i want to achieve is to create a link with this report called 'download'. So it is at this stage i would like to know if in the select statement if i can say, eg;
<code>
if (column) ---> server_name = 'server1'
link to this document
else if (column) ---> server_name = 'server2'
link to a different document
<code>
So i want to link to specific server spec document depending on that server name...
thanks

Link to a document template

Hi
I have a document set with a word document template (.dotx). When the user is clicking on this link: it opens up the dotx file in Word. However if she clicks on Send To ---> Download a copy; then instance of the document from the template is opened (.docx)
which is what I want.
Is it possible to open the docx file when clicking on the document template link itself?
Any Inputs appreciated.
Thanks
Rgds

If you link directly to the dotx then that is what will open. If you create a content type that inherits from document and load the dotx as the Template for the content type then clicking on the new button will open a docx based on that dotx. The
following article discusses how to create a content type with a custom template:

Creating link to excel document within PDF portfolio

i created a pdf portfolio and created links to pdf documents within portfolio but am unable to create a link to the excel documents. I can't even create a link to direct them to a specific folder where the item is held. HELP, New to pdf portfolio's!

One option is to create a PDF from the Excel spreadsheet and link to that.
If you want to update the spreadsheet, you could create a Web Content overlay (or HTML article) that links to a Google spreadsheet. I've played around with linking to a Google presentation, and it works fine. You can update the spreadsheet/presentation on the website and the changes automatically appear in the overlay. I've just dabbled at it, so I wouldn't be much help with sizing/formatting issues.

Link to Blueprint documents

Hello all,
during the testing a lot of tester had the need to check the blueprint documents. As I know within the test (TA: STWB_WORK) it is not possible to "jump" to the blueprint documentation (TA: SOLAR01/02) of a Business Scenario, Business Process or Step.
Does anybody know how to assure a direct "jump" from a test case to the linked documentation?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Manfred,
if you "create" a Test Case within SOLAR02 with Test Case Type "Manual Test Case" or "Testdocument" and then join "link to a Solution Manager Document" within pop-up "Add Document", you should manage to link to a document (i.e. located at "Proj. Documentation") of any project (even the same you add this Test Case to). After generating Test Plan and Test Package tester will find a link within stwb_work to refer to this document.
I'm sorry to say that obviously the document only can be read (or saved as local copy) that way. I found no way until yet to edit those documents from this link "back into" Test (Case) Document as it is possible when Test Plan was generated from file-server instead from bbp-structure.

Tutor: Adding a Prior Activity that does not link to a document

When the docs are published, the Prior Activities come across as broken links if a document filename is not included in the formatting.
Is there a way around this so that if someone clicks on a prior activity which is not linked to a document, it doesn't do anything - rather than appearing as a broken link?
Thank you.

Can you provide the exact text that you are putting under the Prior Activity heading?
Kind regards,
Emily

How do I link to a document in the cloud using Pages. It seems to only give me a choice of linking to a document on my Mac

It seems to only give me a choice of linking to a document on my Mac.

You can't hyperlink to icloud. This is what the Pages User Guide says:
Using Hyperlinks and Bookmarks
Hyperlinks and bookmarks are used in documents that will be viewed onscreen, either as HTML files or as Pages documents. You can add hyperlinks to jump to another page or to open an email message or a webpage on the Internet. Use bookmarks to mark passages in the document that you want to refer to as you work.
You can download the Pages User Guide from your Pages Help menu.

Creating a new "Link to a Document" opens Word document or upload document dialog - plus more!

The Link to Document content type seems to be corrupted at root. When I attempt to create a new Link, either Word opens with a blank document or the "Upload" document dialog opens. It's been changing as I investigate.
One things I've noticed is that the "Link to a Document" Content Type on the parent site collection now shows it's parent as Document. this explains why the Word document opens, but not why the Upload dialog does.
While writing this question, I decided to check further and it seems that the other document types, Audio, Video etc. all now have Document as the parent and are opening a blank Word document.
Has anyone seen this behavior? How do I fix this?
This is on SharePoint 2010.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I spoke too soon. The process worked for all the custom content types, but the default Document type was still messed up. I probably should have fixed that one first, but...
Anyhow, the Document type had no template going to the Upload File dialog rather than the blank Word document it's supposed to go to. I followed the same procedure I'd followed for the other content types, checking what worked on another site and using that
template which in this case was a blank field:
So, I went opened Document, Document Content Type and went to advanced settings. The template field was empty, which matched the working site, so thinking that if I saved, it would match up with the working site. I saved the Document content type and when
after several minutes the save failed with an incredibly long list of locations where that were being perceived as "read only" plus several hidden content types that were listed as sealed. This snapshot shows a few of they many pages of content types. (I poorly
struck through confidential info):
Besides this gigantic error, which would require going to hundreds of locations on the site to change read access settings, which are, as far as I can tell actually not "read only" or are inaccessible, such as the hidden "System Page Layout' and so forth
which shouldn't be based upon the default document type anyway and therefor not fixable, I need to understand why this is happening and what to do about it. I don't want to spend the next two days going over all of these libaries and content types and ending
up back where I started with all the content types still screwed up. Afterall, I've spent about a day creating all these custom Content Types only to have the default Document content type loose its settings and corrupting everything and another day fixing
it and having it happen again.
This is a highly unacceptable behavior on the part of SharePoint and I would really like to fix this.
Help is sorely needed.
Thanks in advance

Can't access adobe from my smart phone to use my form created in formscentral I receive an error message that says "unsupported browser". There is a link to download a supported browser but the link directs me to another page that says "browser no

When I try to access adobe from my smart phone to use my form created in formscentral I receive an error message that says "unsupported browser". There is a link to download a supported browser but the link directs me to another page that says "browser not supported at this time". This happened to me while using my IPhone 5, a friend that uses an IPhone 6, and another friend that uses a Samsung Galaxy S5. I just need for my employees to be able to access, complete and submit work orders created in formscentral from their phones. I would like to use the data collection feature in formscentral but at this point any suggestions on how to accomplish this are welcomed. Thank you

Further info - I changed my security settings to allow apps from anywhere, and again tried to install. I again got an error message
that the update failed to install, and to contact Customer Support.

Issue in creating a add link to a document content type on a doc lib name with , / special characters

hi,
i am having a requirement to create/use "add link to a document" content type for a item in the document library.
so i got the code from below site :
http://howtosharepoint.blogspot.in/2010/05/programmatically-add-link-to-document.html
my issue is, if teh document library names are single words - like MOM, model, procedures etc this functionality is working fine and i am able to view the link to a document as an item.
but when the doc lib name contains special characters like , or / , this link to a document content type functionality is NOT working.
can anyone pls point me whether this is the actual issue ? ie, if the doc lib name contains special chars like , or / my
add link to a document wont work? is there any restrictions/limitations for doc lib names in SharePoint ?
for eg: my doc lib names are :
1) Report and analysis, Data
2) form / template
3) map/ plot
help is highly appreciated!

hi,
its talking abt the subsite names and folders and NOT the document librraies.
is there any link which gives the naming convention / restricted names for document libs or splists , from msdn / blogs.technet.
thnx

Internal Links in HTML Document Not Working Correctly in PDF

I have an HTML document that contains internal links (basically a Table of Contents). When the document is displayed in a browser, the internal links work correctly. However, when I use Acrobat 8 Professional to create a PDF version from the HTML source, the links don't go to the correct place when clicked. It almost appears that they are off by one, e.g., link 7 goes to anchor 8. I can send the source document for you to look at if you email me at eharris -at- synnovation.com. I am not expert in HTML and perhaps the links/anchors are not done correctly when I create the HTML document. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

This one has the same problem. For instance, "Anchor1" as <a name="Anchor1"> appears 13 times. I am sure that your problem is that Acrobat is going to the last occurance that is just before the first one. As I scan through the file I find similar results for all of the anchors. When I used Tidy, it reduces about 1350 errors to about 474, but that is still not too good. The validator is flagging a lot of identical IDs as well as unrecognized attributes (like ONSELECTSTART). The attributes correctly accepted by body are
Attribute Specifications
* BACKGROUND=URI (background image for document)
* BGCOLOR=Color (background color for document)
* TEXT=Color (text color for document)
* LINK=Color (link color for document)
* VLINK=Color (visited link color for document)
* ALINK=Color (active link color for document)
* ONLOAD=Script (document has been loaded)
* ONUNLOAD=Script (document has been exited)
as listed on htmlhelp.com for HTML 4. There may be some new ones in HTML 5, but I did not check.
I am not looking at all of your HTML in detail, but there appears to be a lot of unneeded things based on the error messages from the validator. Many browsers will let you display the stuff (even Acrobat), but there may be errors that crop in when you do not expect it or on some other browsers that the one you check. Thus again, you should use a validator. If you are only off a few tags that might be fine, but when it is in the 1000s, there is an issue. It would also be good to break your page up into parts. It is good practice on web pages for each page to be not much more than one screen. That is often exceeded, but 59 screens of info (on my screen) is a bit much. The TOC is definitely needed in that case, but just was well go to a sub page just as well and make the info easier to track. A PDF (as you are trying to get) could be made of the entire system for those that want it all in one bit. Bill
