Generating Word documents in preview

0

Hi jp,

I'm not aware of such an option. But you can achieve a similar result using the following configuration. The numbers referes to the screenshots in the image

1. Create the document and save it as an attachment
2. Save the id of the created attachment
3. Add a hyperlink action with this configuration, where {34} is the field in which you stored the id, or better a business rule which returned the value. In WEBCON BPS 2022 I would use an automation with a local parameter instead of a field.
javascript:var url = '/api/nav/db/{DBID}/attachments/{34}/preview?hash=0';var params = 'scrollbars=no,resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,width=400,height=600';window.open(url, '', params);

The last one will open document preview in a popup, in a defined width, height and optionally a position. If you want to use a more sophisticated version you could check out.

Replace ccls.popup.openNewWorkflowInstance with something like ccls.popup.showAttachment and call this function in the hyperlink instead of the above.
