This has become a critical issue for our future Tulip projects. We would like the ability to access the local file explorer and open files using an app.
It would look like this:
User needs to view a drawing (these drawings need to be accessed via the file explorer in case they are updated)
2.User clicks the view drawing button
3.Trigger activates “on click” that opens the file in the specific file path
4.Use windows default application to view the file (i.e. Excel for .xlsx, Autocad for .dxf, etc.)
Howdy Joe,
Clear Process solutions has already done an implementation of what you are describing. Give me a shout and we can set up a time to talk it through.
Good afternoon hed,
Clear Process Solutions has created a internal server application that will Dowload the file from your server in it’s native format Feel free to reach out to Josh Peterson at josh.peterson@clearprocesssolutions.com and he will make sure we can get you the solution you need.
Stay awseome@
Hey Joey, appreciate the ping. We still have not been able to get to it- it is already an elevated level of urgency in our ticketing system and we know that it would help many of our users. We will have an update when it is on the path to be released!
Thanks for the update Kevin. This issue is directly aligning with a project we have coming up in November. Having this feature soon could affect the perception of Tulip as a whole at our site. If there is anyway this could be expedited we would be very grateful.
Hey Guys, we will need this also!
For use cases, especially in assembly, it would be helpful to be able to view files from a local shared drive. For example, it would be good to be able to display technical drawings and PDF files dynamically based on variables.
Best,
Daniel from DMG
