Hello,

 

I would like to check if there a way to put a hyperlink on each value of the fields?

I have an table or an entity using a grid component, I would like to add a hyperlink on the value of fields to redirect to another table./ subject or subject variant.

 

Example:
 

Table 2, shows the reference no, this table has reference to Table 1. I would like to add hyperlink to each reference

Table 2

Table 2

And once click it will redirect a Table 1/subject or variant, pointing to the reference no.

Table 1

Table 1

 

 

Please advice. I would appreciate if anyone could help or have suggestion for this behaviour.
 

Thank you

Hi ​@Jheng ,

Basically, there is no need to work with hyperlinks, as the Thinkwise platform already provides the ability to open another screen and navigate to a row whose value matches the value from the selected row using a process flow. 

Of course, this process flow needs to be initiated in some way, which you can do by starting a task.

Here’s what you could do:

  • Set up a task

    • Create a task, where a double-click task might be preferable.
    • Create a task parameter, in this example I will use the name ‘reference’.
    • Link the task to the table.
    • Link the task parameter to the column ‘reference’. This ensures that the task can take over the value from the column.
  • Set up a process flow

    • Create the process flow itself.
    • Create a process variable named 'reference'. Use the same domain as the column ‘reference’ uses in the table.
    • Choose 'Start table task' as the start process action, specifying the relevant table and the newly created task.
    • Now, link the task parameter 'reference' to the process variable 'reference' under ‘Output’ > ‘Task parameters’. This ensures that the process variable takes over the value from the task parameter.
    • Then, add a 'Open document' process action, specifying the table (with an optional table variant) that needs to be opened.
    • Finally, add a 'Go to row' process action, where you can map the 'reference' column to the process variable 'reference' under 'Input' > 'Columns'. This ensures that the GUI knows which row to navigate to.
    • Optionally, add a 'Change filters' process action if you also want to filter on the row instead of just selecting it. Here, too, you can map the relevant column to the variable under 'Input' > 'Columns'.

Optionally, as a final step, you could consider adding an icon in the grid or applying a conditional layout to visually indicate that a (double-click) task is available and mapped to the ‘reference’ column.

Please let me know if this helps.


Hi ​@Jeroen van den Belt ,

 

Thank you for the suggestion, I will try to do this and let you know if I still have any concern.
