[CLOSED] How to set up hyperlink to PDF in MRE HTML launch page
This should be simple but I can't seem to get the correct format.
I have an HTML launch page in Managed Reporting. It has hyperlinks to "help" documents saved on the webfocus server.
The URL we are using is "https:\\budgetplanning.xxxx.com\ibi\WebFOCUS76\basedir\budgetre\app\Introduction to WebFocus.pdf"
We are receiving ERROR 404.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry,

How is the URL formated in the HTML page ?
Sounds like the spaces in the name are causing the issue.
You could try changing the spaces to %20, or escape the string with javascript.

Looks like it is supplying the %20

Is the directory structure available via the webserver ?
if you type in the URL "https://budgetplanning.xxxx.com/ibi", what does it return.
If you want to return a PDF document from MRE, and you cannot get to it via a web alias, then you will need to call it from MRE. The example below assumes the PDF document has been imported into MRE, and not just stored there.
