Links in Rise 360
I am adding links to a page. When I add a website, everything works fine. I also would like to link to other resources like an internal file.
When typing file:// or ftp:// as the protocol, the http is added to the begining.
How do I enter the exact URL I want?
If you want to share a file with your learners, you can use an attachment block:
- Click All Blocks > Multimedia > Attachment
- Click Edit
- Click Upload
- Select your attachment
You can add links to an external website in Rise 360, but it isn't meant to be used for file transfer. I hope this helps!
Two issues with the attachment block:
- It displays the name of the file (including extension). Does not look great.
- User needs to download, then open from the downloads folder. I want the file to open directly.
Any solutions for this?
Hi Norman,
Can you share the type of files you are looking to add in Rise this way?
The files are MS-Word documents stored in our DMS.
The protocol we use to share the link is: PCDOCS://
We use eDocs from Opentext and link to a DRF file.
URI format is:
pcdocs://DOCSLIB/UniqueCode/RNorman
