Open assigned files and web pages

Files and web pages that are assigned to the following objects can be opened in MES Operator:

• Entities

• Entity folders

• Items

• Job steps

To open files and web pages for other objects, and also for those whose files and web pages that can be opened in MES Operator, you can use the following MES Stateful API Documents class methods in a custom application:

• EditFile()

When a user selects a file to view, edit, or print, the default Windows application that is associated with that file type will launch and perform the corresponding operation with the file. URLs will be opened in the default Windows web browser.
