The Merge, Script, task, set-icon, open-url, display-help-topic and iframe TaskML elements use URIs to link together files to form a complete wizard definition. TaskML supports the following URI formats.
Note: Standard network security conditions apply to these URIs. As a general rule, if a user cannot open a linked file in their web browser, the file cannot be accessed by the Mechanical Wizard.
Local Machine and LAN
C:\folder\Wizard.xml
M:\folder\Wizard.xml
\\server\share\Wizard.xml
Standard Protocols
http://webserver/share/Wizard.xml
ftp://ftp.webserver.com/pub/Wizard.xml
file:///C:/folder/Wizard.xml
SIMWIZ Protocol
The SIMWIZ protocol supports paths relative to the location of the Mechanical Wizard (specifically, relative to the location of the file Default.htm in the Mechanical Wizard folder). The SIMWIZ protocol allows custom TaskML files published to any arbitrary location to reuse standard TaskML files and other components of the system.
simwiz://Tasks/StandardTasks.xml
Relative Paths
All relative paths are relative to the location of the file containing the link. Note that this behavior is different from version 6.0, in which relative links were relative to the location of the Mechanical Wizard.
folder/Wizard.xml
./folder/Wizard.xml
../folder/Wizard.xml
/rootfolder/Wizard.xml
