Customers have existing Notes applications that use LotusScript to construct paths to files on network shares, such as \\server\dir\file.pdf, and open those files from the Notes client. They would like the same workflow to be available in Nomad for Web.
Please provide a supported way for a Nomad Web application to pass a file path to the user’s device and open it with the operating system’s associated application, subject to the user’s access to that file. This would let customers continue using their existing applications and network shares without redesigning each application around a browser-hosted document repository.The implementation should account for browser security restrictions and work in supported desktop browser environments. It should not require customers to rewrite their LotusScript applications for each file-opening use case.
Business impact: Without this capability, applications that depend on opening files from network shares lose part of their workflow when used through Nomad Web, limiting customers’ ability to move existing Notes applications to the web client.
I am the CSE for the account.
