Issue

When linking documents to a non standard URL (e.g. https://trim/file.doc) the following errors may occur: 

URL is invalid and should be formatted correctly, e.g. http:// .  Please contact your Promaster to enable linking to this type of URL.

OR

<<website>> is not a valid URL. Should you wish to use the URL, a Promaster may change the URL regular expression setting to support it.

 

Resolution

Add the prefix to your Nintex Promapp configuration settings:

  1. Go to Admin > Configure > Documents
  2. Update the setting Allow linking documents to non-standard urls that match this regex with the prefix (e.g. (https://intranet.*))

The configuration settings are limited to Promasters.  If you are not a Promaster, please contact your organisations Promaster to complete this for you.  

 

Additional Information

To keep inline with current best practice security guidelines, some web links and links to network documents need to be added to a configuration setting in your site to allow you to link to them.
