Links in Rise 360

Jul 18, 2023

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?

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/R

Hi Norman,

Thanks for providing more details on this. Rise doesn't support PCDOCS:// protocol, so using this in your Rise 360 links won't work. 

If you want to add an attachment that will open directly in your course, you can host your attachments on a web server and use a Multimedia > Embed block:  

  • Create an iframe code using the https link of your document.  <iframe src="URL"></iframe> 
  • Click All Blocks > Multimedia > Embed
  • Click Edit > Change
  • Paste your iframe code
  • Press enter to create the embed.

I hope this helps!
