Currently, when adding a new button (within command groups in the page designer) it seems that the ExternalNavigationLink is being restricted to prefix with either http:// or https:// - is there any way of calling a custom scheme / protocol (class) registered on the PC?
I have a local class that has been associated with a software in where I want to invoke it from Aurena. Is this even possible?
No. This is not yet possible.
do you know if it will be possible in future update(s)?
So is it safe to say that, in order to invoke an External Application in Aurena - customizations to those forrms needs to be done (in current IFS 10 Update 7 and below)?
As far as I know, such functionality is not yet planned for the coming updates. Hence if someone wants to create a custom command with External Navigation to other protocols rather than http:// or https:// that will be a customization.
thx for the input, guess I need to think a bit more then how we can replace the traditional “call external program” in Aurena.
We have a product, see
(that has an .exe file) that basically takes a command line argument and creates reports that is being used by many customers (which are now starting to look at upgrading to Aurena). We registered this using a custom class in windows in order to invoke it from a web browser (or anywhere on the PC) but was surprised by the limitation in Aurena (restricted to http or https) when it comes to ExternalNavigationLink.
I managed to solve it though in the end without having to create an extension for Chrome / Edge etc by using existing limitations (http / https) :)
