Configure File Mappings

The right-hand pane displays all file types for which access to the Intrexx Portal Server via WebDAV is enabled by default.

Set the default program for opening files

A default program must be specified for each file type. If there are multiple programs associated with a file type that can open it, you must set one of them as the default program.

  1. Select the file type for which you want to change the default program.

  2. Click the " " icon ().

    The "File Association" dialog box appears.

  3. In the "Default Program" drop-down menu, select the default program.

Expand File Selection

The features described below should be set up by an Intrexx administrator.

The set of possible file mappings is defined by Intrexx. To expand the list, you can create a custom file in the file system: <portal>/internal/cfg/webdav/webdav-link-pool-custom.cfg.

Entries from the default pool can also be overwritten if, for example, a different URI scheme is required.

Example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<webdavLinkConfiguration >
    <webdavLinkItem fileExtension="docx" application="Microsoft Word" uriScheme="ms-word:ofe|u|${uri}"/>
    <webdavLinkItem fileExtension="docx" application="LibreOffice Writer" uriScheme="vnd.libreoffice.command:ofe|u|${uri}"/>
</webdavLinkConfiguration>

For each file association, a `webdavLinkItem` element must be defined with the attributes `fileExtension="<file type>"`, `application="<program>"`, and `uriScheme="<URI scheme>"`.

Name

Description
fileExtension File type, e.g., "docx"
application Program name; displayed in Portal Manager and the browser, e.g., "Microsoft Word"
uriScheme URI scheme; specifies the structure of the link for the WebDAV client, e.g., "ms-word:ofe|u|${uri}"

 

A restart of the Portal Server is required to make the custom pool available in Portal Manager.

  3. Click the " " icon ().

    The dialog box displays a list of programs that can open this file type.

  4. Select the program you want.

    The URI scheme is displayed.

    If only one program is selected for a file type, that program will be used as the default.

  5. Click "OK."
