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

The following examples show the components of a URL that will open the Laserfiche Forms app and start a business process hosted in a Laserfiche Cloud account. The URL should look similar to the shareable starting form link configured in the Process Details dialog. For a private form, replace the startingFormID and sampleID values with the configured starting form ID and your Laserfiche Cloud account ID.

lfforms://app.laserfiche.com/forms/startingFormID?customerid=sampleID

For a public form, replace the sampleID and startingFormID with the corresponding values.

lfforms://portal.laserfiche.com/sampleID/forms/startingFormID

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://app.laserfiche.com/forms/mystartingform

Open a Draft

lfmobileforms://app.laserfiche.com/forms/Form/ResumeDraft?ResumeDraftId=draftidnumber

Replace draftidnumber with the draft ID number.

Open a Task

lfmobileforms://app.laserfiche.com/forms/form/AVSubmission/?resumeId=resumeidnumber&instanceid=instanceidnumber

• Replace resumeidnumber with the task ID number.
• Replace instanceidnumber with the instance ID number.

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.

Note: Existing links that begin with lfmobile or lfmobileforms will continue to open the appropriate document or form. However, some email clients (such as Gmail and Outlook) may not automatically recognize these links as clickable hyperlinks.
