Hello everybody,
I am currently struggling to figure out how I can create a list of "internal" document links in a record dashboard?
Is there something like the linktodocumentinternal() function available somewhere?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards...

The common objects application has a rule called APN_uiLinkFieldFromDocs that may be of use for your use case.

Hi Fabien,
Please take a look at the Appian Common Objects application on the Appian Software download page.
Within this application are a variety of new rules our Professional Services group has created that can aid in the creation of records and reports.
With this application installed, you can create a list of internal documents with an expression in the contents of a column layout similar to:
rule!APN_uiLinkFieldFromDocs("Documents", "This is a list of document links.", getDocumentsFromFolder(if(isnull(rf!folderid), 0, rf!folderid), false()), true())
I hope this helps and gives an indication of the method you should approach with to create a list of links to documents in the Appian Document Knowledge Center in a record dashboard.

Thank you Steven. I am currently using this rule but when using links on my android phone, I am redirected to appian home page and I am asked to log in again. Is there a way to avoid this?

HI Fabien,
The issue with links in records and reports opening in the browser is a known issue and we have it documented for fixing in a future release of Appian. Currently process task forms (Actions) can display lists of document links and allow mobile platforms to download them. You may wish to expose the list of documents to download as a related action for these record dashboards.
