Scroll Prev Top Next More

The Work with Docstore Hot Keys [WRKDOCHK] allows you to specify any Docstore Hot Keys you wish to add to your existing software in order to display the relevant document(s) in Cobwebb Docstore. (From version 6.2.82 of the Server software only.)

The Work with Docstore Hot Keys can be found from the Cobwebb Hot Keys Menu > 1. Work with Docstore Hot Keys.

Type in your choices and then press Enter, this will take you to a second screen. Cobwebb have supplied three entries (prefixed with #), one for each of the supported browsers, to show the PC Program entry for each browser type. You can copy the relevant entry when you want to create a new Hot Key to save having to enter this information.

Entries

Program Name

This can be anything you like but could be the name of the program you are going to change to use this entry.

Key ID

Again this can be any two digit ID and together with the Program Name make the entry unique. This could be the indicator for the Function Key you are going to use in the program e.g. 09.

Document Description

A description for the entry.

Doc Type ID

If you have more than one Document Type in the Docstore and you want to limit the search to a single Document Type then you need to specify the Document Type ID here. This information can be found in the Document Metadata.

Feel Lucky

If you set this to a Y and only one result is returned then the document will be opened in the browser.

Function keys

F3=Exit

Exits the Cobwebb Docstore Hot Keys.

F6=Create Hot Key

Allows you to create a new Hot Key.

F8=Set System Default Values

Allows you to set the default PC Program (e.g. start chrome.exe) and System URL (the URL to the Cobwebb Web Server e.g. https://your server name or ip.local:6443/)

The server name/ip address of the IBM i followed by :6443 (the Port for HTTPS or :6440 the Port for HTTP - these can be changed in the Web Server Configuration.)

These will be used by the built-in functions i.e. Cobwebb Hot Key Menu options 5-8, and as the defaults when you create a new Hot Key.
