link to open file on server

Hi,

I want to add a pdf license agreement to a text object as a link. Can somsone please tell me how can I do this. I have tried to do it by add an action to the text object and launching an application on a path. This works fine If I do it locally on Qlikview desktop but this does not work when the QV file is accessed over internet. I have also tried to do it using a table link but that also does not work

The link tries to open the file at local absolute path c:\license.pdf.

Can someone please tell me what can I do to make the attachment accessible over the internet

Regards

Arif

Try using an Open URL action instead with the path to the pdf document as url. You can put the pdf document on a windows share that every user has access to or put the pdf document on a webserver and use the url to the document on the webserver.

Could you explain this a little better. I don't know the first thing about what Open URL actions are and would look like within Qlik Sense.

Thanks!
