When you select an external web application fixed link:
● The corresponding external web application displays the current data (including
event information of the associated point).
Regardless of the number of parameters included in the XML configuration file, the
Extended Operation tab only displays a maximum of ten parameters that you can
modify. An error informs you if the data you modified is invalid.
For procedures and workflows, see Generating Email Attachments for Fixed Link
Reports.
Generating and Emailing Fixed Link Reports
You can generate and email an external web application fixed link report:
● Manually, from the Operation tab. The Application Name property lets you set
the parameters to execute the external web application fixed link report.
● Automatically, as the output of a reaction. You can then schedule a download
or email of a Web Application Fixed Link report. You will set an external web
application fixed link as the target object of the output of a reaction and specify
any Time & Organization Mode conditions that will trigger the report execution.
● When a specific script is started.
Before an external Web Application Fixed Link report can be executed
(automatically or manually), you must set the user credentials for that fixed link.
After the report is executed, the corresponding file (PDF, XLSX, or DOCX) can be
downloaded and saved in the specified directory on the local client machine. Also,
if configured, an email can be sent immediately or at a scheduled time to a list of
established recipients.
Default Email without Email Subject and Body
Below is a sample of an email using the default settings. Otherwise, a subject and
text can be added to the body of the email.
Library References
In Engineering mode, when authorized experts (with appropriate access rights)
select an existing Web Applications library folder or start configuring a new one the
Rule Editor displays and lets you configure display rules at library level. Only one
library folder of this type can be created per library.
NOTE:
Only Headquarter experts and Customer Support are authorized to modify the
external web application display rules library at L1-Headquarter level.
The customization of L1-Headquarter to a lower level is not supported by external
web application display rules libraries.
Depending on the allowed customization level, authorized experts can create and
modify external web applications libraries at L2-Region, L3-Country, or L4-Project
level.
