2. On its click, open an excel file.... please note.. i just want it to get opened..and not save the file.

 

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

For point 1 - if you want that file to be shown via URL then you need to store it in ServiceNow i.e. attach to some or other table record.

For point 2 - it depends on the browser configuration whether it is set auto-download or only Open

what type of form you are trying to show to user?
