List of Eikon application names referenced within Jet's Navigation API

nick.zincone

The Eikon JET API utilizes a convenient navigation capability where other Eikon apps can be opened via it's core API 'navigation' function call. Refer to the [JET Core API Navigation documentation][1] for details. The Eikon App to open is based on the 'name' field within the Navigation structure required by the call. Can someone confirm an authoritative reference where the list of these Eikon App names are available? It was suggested to use: "%LocalAppData%\Thomson Reuters\Eikon User\Cache\LibraryCache\Apps\" to refer to the list of installed apps. However, some work and others do not. For example, referencing "THOMSONREUTERS.WORLDCLOCK" works while "THOMSONREUTERS.EIKON.QUOTE" does not. To get a quote, the name that works is: "Quote Object" which is not referenced. [1]:

It is not possible to get this list propgramatically using JET. We can however do it in using VBA on the desktop

Sub getObjNames()
For a = 1 To Application.Browsers.BrowserTypes.Count
Debug.Print Application.Browsers.BrowserTypes(a).Name
Next a
End Sub

This returns the list below which we can use in the JET.navigate function

Thanks. The list you provided is a good reference. Actually, the interest was not necessarily to get the valid list programatically, but rather just to get the list documented somewhere. However, having a list documented that may be constantly growing/changing can be challenging to constantly keep up to date.
