I wonder if someone can help me answer this question - is it possible to use an environment variable in the launch function?

I've tried it as is but it's not working but that may be because I've missed something somewhere!

It works if I use the link to the document (which is just stored on SharePoint) but if I change to the environment variable it doesn't.

Launch("https://***.sharepoint.com/........",{},FormMode.New)

Launch("User Guide Link",{},FormMode.New)

If it's not possible I can work with it, it just would be easier to use a variable as the locations for the Test document and the live document will be different (SharePoint vs Website).

Hi

Yes you can use environment variables in Launch.

I would add a Trace statement before your Launch statement

Trace(MyEnvironmentVariable);

Then run Monitor to capture the Trace statement to see what the Value is. Its possible its blank due to not publishing it yet, etc. loads of reasons, but we needt o actually see what the app thinks the value is.

Yes, it should work no problem.

Hi,

I have created a custom page where I have used the Environment variable in the Launch function which will open a new URL. If you want to use the Environment variable in the Launch function then use the below formula:-
Launch(LookUp('Environment Variable Values','Environment Variable Definition'.'Display Name'="Environment Variable Name").Value)

Please mark this answer as accepted solution if it helped you.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
