How to create a hyperlink using HTML item on a data item in cognos 10.2.1

[xyz]

Hi All,

I am using Cognos 10.2.1 version with relational data source. I have requirement where I have a Case numbers column, which should show me hyperlink symbol, clicking on the hyperlink symbol should take me to new window to the particular case number website. How will I do it using HTML items.

I have created the hyperlink on case data item using Hyperlink component, it is working fine but the issue is it is opening the URL in the same window. In order to open in new window I wanted to use HTML item. Can someone please help me/ suggest.


Thanks & Regards,
XYZ

Hi,

I guess you need to create an anchor tag around the item to do this. You will need two html items - one before the case data item and one after the case data item. The one before will contain the opening anchor tag - <a href=http://your url goes here> and the one after the item will contain the closing tag - < /a >

You will probably need to unlock the structure to drop the html items inside the list column body of the Case item.

Cheers!
