Can I open an URL based within my WF5 within WAB

I have generated a URL based on the attributes of a selected feature and want to automatically open the URL in a new tab. Is this possible? I don't see a workflow widget for this. I am working in WAB dev edition. Thanks

Darryl

  Hi Darryl,

   

  This can be done through a Text Box element using Markdown. For example, to display the result of the Run Report activity in a Display Form, we can use the following in the description:

   

  =`[Click to download your report.](${$runReport1.href})`

   

  Thanks, Stefan

  Thanks Stefan,

  2 follow up questions:

  1. If I have created a URL variable i.e. $myhyperlink would my syntax value be: ='[CLICK HERE]($myhyperlink.result)' this doesn't seem to work for me.
  2. The above would require the user to click again - as opposed to just opening the url with the intial click on the feature? Is there anyway to streamline this to avoid the 2nd click?

   

  Thanks

  I figured out the syntax - but still wondering if there is a way to automatically open the URL instead of having the user click on it.

   

  Syntax is:

  ='[CLICK HERE](' + $myhyperlink.result + ')'

  Not that I'm aware of, but you could add this to the list of Ideas for Workflow.
