Introduction

Object Classes marked as External Content can be opened in HyperDoc Viewer by using iFrame.

Any URL can be loaded based on template. Template can be really simple (single fieled value) or more complex, with multiple values.

Simple template: {my_url}

Object class must contain "my_url" field that will be used to load external resource.

More advanced examples are described below.

 Note: there is no authentication between HyperDoc and external service at that point. 

HyperDoc is not aware about the loaded content, cannot manipulate it in any way or be responsible for the content loaded. 

Example URL

Lets consider that our service is using such URLs:

Based on several examples, we can see, that there is a GUID field and a project name that are important for us.

We can create the following template in that case:

Our object must have required fields "scene_guid" and "faro_project"
