What version of IFS are you on please?

 

Instead of a menu, what we have done for a customer is to utilise a custom field with a clickable hyperlink.  So this custom field would be a URL that points to a PDF or Excel spreadsheet on the customer’s intranet, when you click the link it would open the appropriate program for the given file type.

Morning,

As Steve mentioned above, a clickable hyperlink is probably the best way to achieve this, as the fields will also be available within the Aurena interface going forward.

Though if a menu is the requirement, you can set an Action Type of external program like the below:

Cheers,

Marcus
