What is the correct RID of and Object that allow to display a clickable link directly opening the object when it is used in an object type string property configured as display = File RID ?
Context : I have and object type that records each time a user open an object, let’s call it Object_visits. Mechanism is like : opening object’s workshop view trigger an action that add an object in Object_visits with some parameters including Object’s RID and Workshop RID. Workshop RID is recognized as a clickable link but object RID is not recognized as a clickable link.
Let me give more detail with a picture.
I created 2 object type that record (1) Workshop visits, (2) Object visits
1- In the first the workshop RID is transformed (displayed) in explorer viewer by an icon + a clickable link named with the workshop name
2- In the second, the object RID is displayed as-is, I mean, a string of the RID.
I have no issue to log the Object Primary key and the Object type name and I could be satisfied with this RID string but I wonder if it is possible to make it clickable in order to open the visited Object from Explorer view.
Side note: surprisingly the RID of the object type displays a “file” icon (as you can seen on my screenshot)
Per the docs and based on the config in the following screenshot for Value Formatting, it seems like in order to render a RID as clickable, you’d need the Object Set RID (i.e., with this format ri.object-set.main.temporary-object-set.XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX). Even then, it will only take you to the Explore page for the relevant Object Type with filters applied to the relevant Object and not to its custom Object View which it sounds like you’re aiming for.
If it’s an acceptable alternative to you, you could construct a new string property that is the URL to the exact Object View using the following format:
While the link still won’t be clickable from Object Explorer, you could add an Object Table in Workshop and create a column that acts as a URL Redirect button.
