Hello, 

So I have a series of pdfs that get created from a work flow that is triggered in Geocortex Web app when I want to do a report. The reports are parcel based and pull back things like owners name, address and other details about a property. Some properties have documents that pertain to them.

For example,  a survey on a property. I would like there to be a link to this  Survey PDF within the PDF that gets created from the report building workflow.  The Survey PDF that would be in the hyperlink is stored on our ArcGIS Enterprise Server. 

Does anyone know if this is even possible or not? 

Thanks! :)

Larisa

  Hi Chelsea, 

  Yes in this case it's much easier :) 

  You can set the Navigation URL property on the element you want to be the hyperlink, and the expression builder is there too if you need it to build up from values in your data: 

  

  Let me know if that works, 

  Andrew

  Hi Larisa, 

  Are these PDF's stored as attachments on a feature service/layer in your ArcGIS Enterprise Server? 

  I had a similar use case where I wanted to include hyperlinks to documents attached to a feature service, as only the images could be embedded in the report.  This isn't possible out of the box and I started looking at it using a script baesd on this example, however because our services are secured then it wasn't possible to obtain the list of attachments.  There didn't seem to be a way to obtain a token to use in the script.   

  For secure services you would have to decide whether to then include a token in the url embedded in the report, which could potentially be a security risk.  Without the token in the embedded URL, the user would need to be logged in to download the attachments. 

  I'd be really interested if you find a solution!

  Andrew

  Hi, did either of you figure out how to include a hyperlink? I just need one to a public URL that has some dynamic parameters. No tokens.

  Thanks for the reply Andrew. Wish I had seen it earlier. Following posts doesn't seem to alert me or anything helpful. I'll keep that solution in mind. I ended up checking "Allow Markup Text" and using the expression builder to make HTML tags for the label. Syntax for me was '<href=' + [features.attributes.url] +'>Website</href>'
