Title: Create hyperlink within list report
Post by: akp on 21 Oct 2014 04:33:16 AM
Hi,

One of the columns in my list report is having URLs.

Is there any way I can create hyperlinks to those data items so that the webpage (as per the URL in the cell) will open if the user clicks on it?

Something like shown below:






IDCompanyURL
01Googlewww.google.com
02Yahoowww.yahoo.com
03MSNwww.msn.com

Thanks in advance.

In the report studio you can add a hyperlink item and point the hyperlink at the relevant URL or data item containing the URL you want to link to.


You can drag the hyperlink onto the list as an extra column and change the text to display the URL. You can leave that first part as text if you like. The URL source is the part you will need to set to use the data item.

Apologies for quick response, I'll add further information if you get stuck.

Work summons me.
