How do I create a field on a form that needs to contain a hyperlink that works to send the customer to the associated document (through the hyperlink)

Have tried 'String' 'HTML' 'DOCUMENT ID' none work

Hi - I have just 'discovered' the URL field - whilst this is OK I am sure our customers are going to have a moan about tthe'lock' - is this the only way to invoke a hyperlink from a form?

i was about to suggest the URL field but looks like you have already discovered it.

What is the issue with the lock, lock/unlock will only be used if you are updating the field.

and there is another way, but it is a long route and its non editable, it will be hardcoded links.

follow these steps,

1) Create a Ui Macro containing the hyperlink

2) create a formatter(under system ui) and use the ui macro name above on this also(it has a field called ui macro)

3) ensure that the formatter is attached to the correct ui macro, you will get a related link on the formatter that will help you.

4) on the form, personalize form layout and you will get the formatter here like any other field, place it on the firm wherever you want
