Hi,

There is a requirement of adding a link in Sharepoint to open a document created in IFS applications. This document is a BR report which is saved as a new revision after running a report schedule. After each schedule, it will create a new revision. So the URL for the latest released revision will be changed each time.

Sample URL for a document revision

Within IFS applications, is there a way to get a static URL(which does not contain a revision no may be) to access the latest released revision always, so that the hyperlink in the Sharepoint will always open the latest released version?
Or is there any other way to achieve this?

Best Regards,
Nisansala

We have a command for creating such links in the Document Revision screen (both in IEE and Aurena). Try it and see!

Hi @Mathias Dahl,

Do you mean the 'Create and Send Document Link’ command?. Above URL is taken from that and it does include the revision no. So when there is a new revision, it will have a different URL.

Yes, that's the one. Try the different options in that dialog, they should be self explaining. When in doubt, consult the documentation, or report back here with your findings.
