Hi !

I got the message it was not considered as a "bug" ... There is a workaround though !

The workaround would be to use File Viewer component to refer to the .html page which should be on the server. For instance, I refer to "file://localhost/c:/pathtofolderyouwant/confirmation.html" in file viewer, and I chose a "URL" type, then it opens in the application as expected !

Sergey I added the file under FileShare/Applications/Golfstream/Contents/test.html and then I added this path in the fileviewer as URL : file:///D:/OneStream/Fileshare/Applications/Golfstream/Contents/test.html
It is indeed reading something within the dashboard but it returns an error  when i look at the HTML console on my computer : 
Not allowed to load local resource: file:///D:/OneStream/Fileshare/Applications/Golfstream/Contents/test.html

However, when I run this from my local browser on the on-prem server, the page is returned fine.
