HxGN SDx2 uses Extensibility to connect to j5. For more information, see Extensibility.
To display a j5 application within HxGN SDx2, create a new method and configure it to display the application from either a feature set or the Actions menu of an object, as described in Configuring methods for Extensibility applications.
In the URL to custom page box of the method, enter the following URL:
https://j5.domain.com/j5_Hexagon_pages/SpfClientExtensibility/<logbook identifier>/<type>
Where:
-
https://j5.domain.com is the URL of the j5 application.
-
<logbook identifier> is the identifier for the required module.
-
<type> is either view to link to the list view of the specified logbook identifier, or new to link to the new entry screen of the specified logbook identifier.
The <logbook identifier> can be found in the URL of the required j5 screen. For example, for the j5 Work Instructions module, the logbook identifier is work_overview, as shown in the following URL:
https://j5.domain.com/logbook_standard/view/work_overview#Lv01/work_overview
Therefore, to link to the Work Instructions module, enter the following URL in URL to custom page: https://j5.domain.com/j5_Hexagon_pages/SpfClientExtensibility/work_overview/view
The URL also contains a logbook application identifier: https://j5.domain.com/logbook_standard/view/work_overview#Lv01/work_overview
Most of the standard modules use logbook_standard, but j5 pages do not. These may be custom modules or configuration pages. It is still possible to create a link to these pages, but an additional parameter is required.
https://j5.domain.com/j5_Hexagon_pages/SpfClientExtensibility/<logbook identifier>/view?logbook_app=<logbook_app_identifier>
https://j5.domain.com/j5_Hexagon_pages/SpfClientExtensibility/<logbook identifier>/new?logbook_app=<logbook_app_identifier>
For example, to link to the Distribution Lists configuration page, enter the following URL in URL to custom page:
https://j5.domain.com/j5_Hexagon_pages/SpfClientExtensibility/dist_list/view? logbook_app=logbook_config
