BIM 360 Docs share hyperlink to open file viewer directly in iPad app

BIM 360 Docs share hyperlink to open file viewer directly in iPad app

A share link for a file in BIM 360 Docs opens up in a normal browser directly to the viewer module for the file.

 

However, if you click on that link from an iPad and you have the BIM 360 app installed, it opens the BIM 360 app, but navigates you to the folder where the file is contained, not to the actual file.

 

It would be nice for the BIM 360 App on the iPad to directly open the file viewer for that file.

This happens the same way when clicking on a link in an email on the I-phone. It opens the App and only goes to the folder.

Good idea. It would also be useful if clicking links to other files from within the BIM 360 mobile app.

 

Here is the full description of current behavior:

  1. PDFs A & B are stored on BIM 360 Docs
  2. PDF A contains share links (for project members) that link to PDF B.
  3. When viewing PDF A from the BIM 360 App, and clicking the link to PDF B, instead of opening PDF B from within the BIM 360 App, it opens in the Browser.

It would be best if PDF B would open directly in the BIM 360 mobile app.
