html link with field value as variable

[tomwnichols67]

I want to use a field value as part of an HTML link that users can click from the form I'm working on.   What's the best way to do this?

Rushit, specifically trying to provide a link to a ticket in another system using the ticket number and the rest of the URL that would take the user to that other system.  

Ticket number would get added to a field and we need that value to be wrapped in the rest of the URL- http://othersystem.com/openticket-[ticketnumber] or something like that.   Ideally, we'd display on the ticket number as a hot link.

Asking on behalf of my team, so not sure what they've tried yet- no luck so far though.

here is how i would do it..follow below steps..

1)create a new field on your table ..call it anything..type should be URL

save it..on the same form there is calculated tab

give value as shown in image...so whenever a ticket is created..this field's value will be automatically set like below.

Hope this helps
