Feature request - links

[Darren Rose]

Hello

In Project Manager, would it be possible to add a section for links, a bit like bookmarks.

Our Project documentation managed in sharepoint, and it would be great to be able to add links to external locations within a project. If it was one of the options in the right hand panel by attachments for example, that would be ideal? 

If we could add default links to the project templates that would be good too. 

Thanks

@Darren Rose thanks for your post. I'll feed this back to our product and development teams

thanks, @alextumber It would be a really useful addition. 

We use a number of external references - PowerBI dashboards etc... - that would be ideal as project related links, making the whole process far more efficient

@Darren Rose I'm pleased to say that Project Links will be included in the next Project Manager update. Looking forward to hearing your feedback :-)

Very pleased about that, thanks @AlexTumber

@AlexTumber I just applied the update and added a test link, but it's not not working. When clicking on the link, the link is added to the address of our instance

https://live.hornbill.com/vinci/www.bbc.co.uk/

@Darren Rose you'll need the full url path, e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk

Hi Alex,

Good feature https is working fine.

But I have a little feature request to this topic. would it be possible to add a link to a shared folder? like this here:

That would be very good. 

Thanks Nikolaj

@Nikolaj after speaking with our dev team I can confirm the following:

file:// is blocked by default by Angular due to security reasons. In our case, because this is an online service (not intranet) the link will not work unless you are in the same network.

So unfortunately only links that start with https:// or http:// are clickable. I appreciate it's a few extra clicks, but a workaround is to open the project link dialog box, copy the full link (file://) and paste it into your browser url bar. This will work for you because your are logged on to your internal network.
