I am trying to create a file path link in either a table or a tooltip on a map in Powerbi. After doing some research "File" is an acceptable input for the "Web URL" data category. But for some reason when I try to use it as a hyperlink in the browser, it will not work. Below are some pictures of the problem.
What is the best way to fix this issue? Do I need to change how I string in the file path?
I found definitive answer - it doesn't work as one would expect. It appears it only used to work on Edge, however Edge has switched to Chromium underneath and this capability has not been carried over since it is a potential security risk.
If I navigate from Power BI Service and try and right click to open the link, I get. about:blank#blocked
Here is the post I found
And here is the idea you need to vote for: - Extract below.
Currently open a local file from Desktop is not possible and from browser is very tedious as explained on May 2017 update:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-may-feature-summary/#urlTables
"If you want to use file URLs, there are some limitations. They will not open in the Power BI Desktop, only in web browsers. For most browsers, you will need to right click on the link, copy the link address, and paste the URL in a new tab"
It will be great if can be improved the way to open the files in same way as with web images or files (http://).

as Microsoft Power BI only allows to add hyperlinks of the following types
mailto
News
Telnet
FTP
File
I was thinking, if it could be possible to write a small webservice (ideally under IIS), which redirects an URL to let open a different hyperlink type.
The thing is, that I made a Power BI report, which reads from a Microsoft SQL server instance, which is running behind a propriertary Windows native CRM software.
What I want to achieve is to get back to the software, as soon as e.g. a customer number in the Power BI dashboard is clicked (made clickable using the conditional formatting).
It is already possible to open the dataset using an URL by entering something like:
<applicationname>:OpenAddress?Number=12345 in my Webbrowser.
So as Power BI does not let me add this syntax directly, I thought it could be possible to have a link like http://localhost:8080/OpenAddress?Number=12345 which redirects to the above individual hyperlink type.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

After a while of thinking I solved this issue using some simple lines of Javascript:
let params = new URLSearchParams(location.search);
parameter = params.get('number');
finalurl = "<applicationname>:OpenAddress?number=" + parameter;
window.location.replace(finalurl);
I made a table on a SharePoint page using a webpart/snippet and some coding. My goal is to add code to pull a value for a couple of the cells in the table from another SharePoint page using a QueryString. My issue, I'm newer to SharePoint, and not sure how to set up the page that I'm pulling the information from. Ultimately, the page with the table will only be editable by a few owners. The page with the info to populate the cells will have multiple people that have the permission to edit the page to update their information daily. Now, here is where I'm not sure how to proceed. I don't want the users, most of which have no coding experience, to have to deal with entering their daily values into a coded snippet. But I'm not sure how to call the value from randomly entered data on a SharePoint page line. I believe it is SharePoint 2013. I can insert a table using the SharePoint feature rather than a snippet code, and that would be easily editable for the users. But Then I'm right back with not being sure how to call the information. I believe I can come up with the code once I figure out how I need to set up page with the information, but can edit the question as deemed necessary.
Follow the below thread
There are many way to send data from one page to another page
Query string is better if you are using table, redirect the link using custom code else follow the below link it might be help you to clarify or achieve something

Not 100% sure how to phrase the question but here is the problem:
I have a website serving documents which each have their own URL, for example:
www.app/doc/1
www.app/doc/2
The website allows users to edit the documents and save the changes. I want to put a lock in place so that only one user can edit a document at a time. So, if one client has www.app/doc/1 open then noone else should be able to open the same URL.
The web app is developed in Django. Any pointers on how to do this? I know some websites are able to pick up if you have a page open in another tab and force you to pick an active tab. What is the method that they use?
You can take a look at this, maybe this is what you're looking for:

I have a simple IWebBrowser2 browser in my application like this one sample.
We use this browser control for a research in our application to search for address information. The user may click on a button to perform a selective search for given keywords in the address and the result is shown in this browser control.
For example we execute a YouTube search for
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=test+video
I can copy the link into a browser (Chrome, IE, Edge) and the search is executed.
But from within the embedded Control the search shows the following text:
Google Sorry...
We're sorry...
... but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.
See Google Help for more information.
The help links are not useful, and the problem arises only to searches on Youtube from within the IWebBrowser2. No Captcha is shown. We use AV and Firewall software... so something from YouTube/Google don't like browsing from an IWebBrowser2.
Hint: If you want to use the sample code form CodeProject you should thet ES_AUTOHSCROLL for the URL edit control. Otherwise you will not be able to enter a long search URL.
Set the agent field of the http query header to emulate a known browser.
We're developing a new SharePoint 2013 site and we want our users to be able to easily save files to SharePoint. We have about 100 site collections and each represents a Property that we own and contains all the documents related to that Property. Obviously, the easiest way to ensure a new document is created in the correct location is to first navigate to the document library, then click "New Document". Unfortunately, we anticipate most users will create the document first, then want to choose where to save it. Our users are not so computer savvy and are accustomed to file shares.
I've tried using "Connect To Office" but have had mixed results. Ideally, I would like this link to be to the site collection root so the user can see all the document libraries on the site rather than a single document library.
Any tips on using "Connect To Office"? What permissions or GPOs need to be set up so this works smoothly? We have an SSL site and our users are running Win 7,8 & 10 and also use Office 2010 & 2013.
Is there any way to hide the system/admin folders at the root level of the site collection in Explorer View? The site collections are publishing sites, so there are many additional folders and it's difficult to see which are relevant to the users - plus I'd like to hide them to help with security. There are approximately 25 folders that they should not see.
TIA
I have the exact same scenario.
I have had quite good success mapping the root SP site as a mapped drive. Users can easily browse the SP site libraries as they would folders on the network. It was a bit tricky to get it reliable but now is working very well.
Would also like to know the answer to hiding all the publishing system libraries. I tried setting them to hidden in SP Designer without success.
