•When creating an internet URL be sure to insert http:// in front of the web address.
•If the URL is stored in an attribute, make sure it contains a valid web address (including the http:// prefix).

Example
A company stores its policies in an internal server that can be accessed through the following intranet path:
\\lServer\Policies\Vacation_Policies.pdf
|
Internal links (\\ServerName\Path\File.ext) depend on your browser's security and your network configuration. Some end users might get error messages, and some others might work correctly. We suggest creating a virtual web server or use and Internet one (such as Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) and use links with the following format http://[IP.ADDRESS][ServerName]/Path/File.ext. |
When an employee requests vacations, he/she must read and accept the company's vacation policies. To allow the user to access these policies a Link control must be inserted in the request form.
1. Drag and drop a Link control , from the Controls tab, onto the form.
2. Go to the Basic tab in the Control's properties and select URL in the Link Execution properties.
3. Enter the path as fixed text.
4. Give the link a display name. Save the form.
5. Go to the Work Portal to test the control.
