SDx uses Extensibility to connect to j5. For more information, see HxGN SDx Extensibility.

To display a j5 application within SDx, create a new method and configure it to display the application from either a feature set or an object's Actions menu as described in Configuring methods for Extensibility applications.

The method's URL to custom page must be set to one the following URLs, where https://j5.domain.com is the URL of the j5 application:

  • https://j5.domain.com/j5_Hexagon_pages/SpfClientExtensibility/<logbook identifier>/view

    This links to the list view of the specified logbook identifier.

  • https://j5.domain.com/j5_Hexagon_pages/SpfClientExtensibility/<logbook identifier>/new

    This links 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, set URL to custom page to:

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 there are some screens that do not. These may be custom modules, or configuration screens. It is still possible to create a link to these screens, but an extra 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 screen set URL to custom page to:

https://j5.domain.com/j5_Hexagon_pages/SpfClientExtensibility/dist_list/view?logbook_app=logbook_config
