Show Link/URL in List with Display Value

[MarcB1]

Hi

We like to insert a link to a Catalog Item in a "regular" list.

I know there is a field type "URL" and another type "HTML".

Unfortunately, the HTML field type only works fine on the form itself and the URL field type does not allow setting an display value.

How is it possible?

btw: the values are calculated:

Chuck,

I'm not able to access HI for my organization because I'm not part of our technical support team. However, I'm working on this very problem (URL display value in list views) and I'm finding it kind of hard to believe that the platform would provide a specific field type of URL without providing the ability to control the rest of the anchor tag that gets created.

In any case, I'm wondering if you know if there have been any enhancement requests to allow URL fields in list views to have a nice display label, rather than just displaying the long ugly URL with all the parameters?

And technically speaking, if they are going to do an enhancement to the URL field type capability they should also allow the other anchor tag attributes to be controlled, e.g. target="_blank", etc.

Hi Earl, You're probably hoping for a nicer look but based on your request I'm not sure you are aware of the ability to use the label as a link.

We have a URL field where I made the label in to a hyperlink which is pointed to a record producer for requests.

In case you were not aware of this….

Good luck

Yes, I'm aware of that for form views. I'm needing more control over the anchor tag that the platform is building out in the list view. The URL field capability is very limited in this regard, for list views.

For anyone that's interested, here's a screenshot of my dilemma. The link/URL takes up way too much of the screen real estate, because SN doesn't allow us to actually specify the link label for the URL field. BTW, I added a new field to the pm_portfolio_project table and use a calculated link value in order to get this to work.

Other than this little problem, I've really happy with the way the PPM application is working out for us.

Do we have this option available now. can we show some field value in list UI with Link. but do not show the link in UI. when we click on field value it should naviagate new view of servicenow with appending field value as sysid. similar to reference field.
