Remote Control functionality

[popeye]

Hi,

I read that you have a feature that acts as a Remote Control, e.g. that executes a plugin in OpenWorkdesk from another application.
How can this be configured? Do you have some examples what is possible?

Thanks in advance 🙂

:idea: In general all the main functionalities provided by OpenWorkdesk can be reached by a user via navigation in the OpenWorkdesk user interface. However, certain operations can be called directly via an appropriately formed URL
The standard URL format for remote control is composed of the part:
(OWD_Base_URL)?owappeid=com.wewebu.ow.RemoteControl.Doc
plus a sequence of pairs separated by “&”, which depends on the respective operation: (Parameter)=(Value)

The operations supported by a Remote Control URL call are the following:

- Search for items based on metadata
- Open an eFile
- View a document
- Modify/Edit an item´s properties

The URL for executing a search looks like this:

http://localhost:8090/ow/?owappeid=com.wewebu.ow.RemoteControl.Doc&ctrlev=search&plugid=com.wewebu.o...‍

Please note that the remote control functionality is only available for the OpenWorkdesk Pro and Enterprise Editions.

A detailed listing of the plugins available in the different editions is given in the following thread http://openworkdesk.org/phpbbforum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11 . A more general description of the different Editions is given here: http://openworkdesk.org/editions .

Hopefully you find a reason to upgrade to the Pro or Enterprise Edition
