Creating Mobile Deep Links for Laserfiche Forms

You can create mobile deep links that open the Laserfiche Forms app directly to a starting form, task, or draft.

URI Schemes

Use the appropriate URI scheme depending on which application you want to open.

Open a Starting Form in the Laserfiche Forms App

lfforms://formsserverhostname/Forms/startingformURL

Replace:

  • formsserverhostname with the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your Laserfiche Forms server.
  • startingformURL with the Starting Form URL configured in the Process Options dialog.

Legacy URI Schemes

The following URI schemes continue to work for opening forms in the Legacy Laserfiche app and the Laserfiche Forms app.

Open a Starting Form

lfmobileforms://formsserverhostname/Forms/startingformURL

Replace formsserverhostname with the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your Laserfiche Forms server and startingformURL with the Starting Form URL configured in the Process Options dialog.

Open a Draft

lfmobileforms://formsserverhostname/Forms/form/resume/formID/draftID

Replace formsserverhostname with the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your Laserfiche Forms server, formID with the ID for the form, and draftID with the ID for the draft.

Open a Task

lfmobileforms://formsserverhostname/Forms/form/avsubmission?routingResumeId=resumeID&InstanceID=instanceID

Replace formsserverhostname with the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your Laserfiche Forms server., resumeID with the resume ID, and instanceID with the ID for the instance.

Choosing the URI Scheme

Use the lfforms URI scheme when you want to open the new Laserfiche Forms app directly.

The lfmobileforms URI scheme can open either the Legacy Laserfiche app or the new Laserfiche Forms app. If both apps are installed on the same device, the mobile operating system may not know which application to use. In these cases, users on Android devices can use the Share option to choose the app they want to open the link with.

Note: The lfforms URI scheme is currently supported only by the Android version of the Laserfiche Forms app. Support for iOS will be available in a future release.

Note: URL path separators (/) must be URL-encoded as %2F when constructing deep links.
