Add a Hyperlink to a table column

From within a table cell, you can redirect a user to another form or to a control on the current form.

For example, a company often provides hyperlinks on a website that redirect a user to a different web page. On a Shoppers Comparison website, a list of recommended suppliers is displayed in a table format. In the last column, each supplier's URL is displayed using a hyperlink control, which, when clicked, brings the user to the supplier's website.

You can use an image for a hyperlink.

  1. On the Extended Properties page of a Table, click Columns.
  2. On the Data Type list, select String.
  3. On the Column Type list, select Hyperlink.
  4. Consume the Redirect action. See Create a Redirect action.
  5. To display the hyperlink as an image, do the following:
    1. Click Yes for Show Button.
      The Load Image from Store option appears.
    2. Select either option for Load Image from Store:

      • No (default): Enter an image name, such as abc.png in the Image box. At runtime, the image will be loaded in relation to the Base Image URL defined in Server Settings> Settings> Forms tab.

      • Yes: Consume an existing image or enter image name in the Image box. The name must match the image name in the database for the image to display at runtime.

    3. Optionally, enter the Alternate Text to display at runtime on moving the pointer over the image.
  6. Click Add Add.
  7. Click Close.
