How do you create a link to a shared network file using the Rich Text Control?

 

I have tried for over 2 hours and I can not get it to work.

 

I've tried going into the HTML and manually typing in

<a href="file/////S:folderfolderfolderfile"

<a href="S:folderfolderfolderfile"

<a href="https:s:folderfoldefolderfile"


The system keeps either wiping out the code or changing it.

Using the Rich Text to send custom instructions to Task Approvers to specific documents in the file share.  I can't hard code the label because it could change for numerous records.

Hello  @AAschenbrener, 


 


You should be able to create a link to a network file in the rich text control using that first format you noted (i.e. <a href="file/////S:folderfolderfolderfile">Link Text</a>). However, there are a few things to note:



  • the 'Prevent XSS' option for the rich text control must be unchecked AND

  • you will not be able to access the install drive for K2 (typically C:)


But un-checking that box for the control will stop it from changing and/or wiping your expression in the designer. 


 


Thanks, 


Samuel
