Three questions before a possible new project

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Good morning, for a possible project I have a few questions in advance as to whether it can even be implemented with Board.

Is it possible to add a signature field to the board, for example is signed digitally with a Signpad?

Can you list the directory contents of a network drive and then display the PDFs in it in Board? Specifically, a 4-digit number should be selected using a selector, then a directory should be searched for a subfolder that has the 4-digit number and the contents of these subfolders should then be displayed in Board, which would then always be PDF files and These should then open in the board by clicking on them.

There can also be the opposite case, where data is recorded in Board and then written to one of the subfolders as a PDF. Those would be the 3 questions that I would like to clarify in advance whether this is even possible on board.

Thanks

Hi @ThomasHalberstadt ,

generally speaking—yes, that would be possible, although I'm not sure about the signature field.

But that depends on your Board System because it requires scripts on the server to be run from Board using "Server Side Commands". If you were on premise you could create those scripts and call them from within a Board procedure. If you're running Board in the cloud you'd need Board's Cloud Ops team involved to support you.

If the signature could be added to a file by a batch/script then that requirement could be met as well.

Best,
Helmut

Thanks for the quick response, what would something like that actually look like, listing the directory contents and then opening the PDF file?

Hi @ThomasHalberstadt ,

that would be batch commands (like "DIR C:\" for example) delivering their results into files that can be loaded to Board.

Best,
Helmut
