Question

Link to Word/PDF document

0

Hi, I'm trying to embed some links that will pull up documents from a our works library. I've considered the document uploader but this isn't really what I'm after as we need the document to be stored in a central location that can be edited outside of the platform as it is used elsewhere also. Probably a simple answer, but I'm a simple man and can't figure it out! Thanks in advance, Sean.

The problem is the edit outside of the platform. Then storing the files inside Mendix will not work. Did you take a look at box? (https://www.box.com/). There is one Mendix partner that has a connector for this: Nokavision (http://www.nokavision.com/)

[EDIT]

If you just want to link to a document you can use the link button for that (https://world.mendix.com/display/refguide6/Link+button), You only have to think about how you manage all those links. You could create a webservice that retrieved all the current links or something like that.
