I have a field named ticket and it values are name . I have created a calculated field that make a link, sim_ticket = concat('https://amazon.com/country/', {ticket}).
Now Have a visual as table, and what I want is in sim_ticket field, instead showing the whole hyperlink, it will show whatever name it has in ticket filed, and once I click on that name it will open the URL into new window, How can I achieve that?
I have done the following (in the image) , it allowed me to use static values , but rather I’m looking for to use dynamic values, the name coming from ticket field?
Thank you @Wakana for your reply, that works in certain way, but doesn’t give exactly what I’m looking for.
After using URL action, I have to do left click to see the url option, and lets say I’m using multiple url action (more than 10), and new user can be confused which on to click?
See the screen shot please
Hello @sadhanm22, I understand the issue you are facing here. I went through and did some testing to try and figure out the best way to accomplish this, but the work-around solution I can think of is a bit clunky.
There isn’t a way we can utilize a field value or a parameter value in the Custom link text, but I do think styling a link in the table will be the best option. What if you just show the link as a column and style it as an icon. Then directly to the left of that column, you can show the name of the ticket that the link will take them to. That at least provides a little more visual confirmation to the user, while ensuring they do not have to click twice on the visual to navigate to the webpage. Let me know what you think!
Hello @sadhanm22, since we have not heard back from you with any follow-up information, I will tag my work-around suggestion as the solution. Let me know if you have any remaining questions, otherwise I can mark this as a feature request and archive the topic for our support team. It would be nice to see functionality added to have dynamic custom text for a URL in the table visuals. Thank you!
Hi @DylanM
I have done that (what you said above) , however, it was not exactly what I was looking for. However, I understand the current limitation and it would be nice to mark this as a feature request as it will add the functionality to have dynamic custom text for a URL in a table visuals.
Thank you.
