Open attached files directly from PI-Vision

It is great that I can attach files as an attribute to an element in AF and that these files are shown in the PI-Vision navigation (see attached screenshot). But why is it not possible to open these files directly from PI-Vision? This would be a great improvment.

    Hello everyone, we had the same problem and created a custom symbol for this. The symbol enables you to just embed any file in PI Vision and let all users open it up on their device. If you want to learn more about this you can just contact me: julian.weber(at)werusys.de

    These are the simple things that have great potential! One example i have: action plans or SOPs are loaded into AF as a PDF. Now i have an in an attribute URL pointing to a IIS virtual directory where i store the PDFs. Too many steps, which i could replace with one simple attribute and one stock symbol. E.g. the attribute value symbol could be extended to download this file to the client.

    I would like to add a point here that it should also allow to attach small .exe file to view specific file. For example, whenever SharePoint Portal opens, SVG viewer get installed so that client can see svg files on it.

    In response to Paurav Joshi, "I would like to add a point here that it..." Not sure if that passes best practices around security....but in general i would not limit the files in any way but leave the checking of safety to the webbrowser and other software on the endpoint.

    Semi related functionality that would also be convenient if possible: In ProcessBook I have buttons that execute a command to run Remote Desktop mstsc.exe /f /v: don't suppose there's anyway to replicate that?

    This is a processbook feature that helps a lot when we have an excel file and/or other application that we want to help with the end-user assessment. This update for PI Vision would be very welcome.

    Is there any plans to add the ability to open files in PIVision. We used this on a lot of displays. Trying to migrate displays from PI Processbook to PI Vision and finding it vary hard to do with all the VBA code we have on our displays
