Generate URLs of managed assets

Managed assets are images, style sheets, AMD modules or other assets that are part of a Coach View, but are developed outside of Process Designer. To access these assets from a Coach, you might need use a global JavaScript function to generate the URL of the asset.

For example, to get the URL of an AMD module which is contained in a zip file.

com_ibm_bpm_coach.getManagedAssetUrl

This global JavaScript function composes the URL to the managed assets without checking whether the asset exist or not.

syntax

com_ibm_bpm_coach.getManagedAssetUrl = function(assetName, assetType, projectShortName, returnWithoutAssetName)

returns

the URL of the managed asset. If assetType is not one of the three allowed (see the following table), the function returns null.

These are the parameters of the function.
