Linking Data to a Website

You can create a link in a record to a website or another OneData object by using the object’s clickable link. However, the object’s link URL must not exceed the column’s maximum character length. OneData uses the following hyperlink syntax:

For standard http protocol: HTTP://URL\Description

For encrypted https protocol: HTTPS://URL\Description

The description field is required and contains the text describing the link.

To create a link to a website

1. Optionally, verify that the column in which you want to add a link is defined with the correct attributes. See Verifying the Column Definition.

2. On the Menu toolbar, click Manage > Manage Data or View > Browse.

3. Navigate to the object in which you want to add a link and select it.

4. Use the option that corresponds to the object’s display mode:

In Default mode: click the Values tab.

In Nova mode: click Apply Filter.

5. Click Insert > Insert or Insert > Insert Multiple.

6. In the relevant column, use the link that corresponds to whether the site uses secure http or not. Separate multiple links with a space.

To link to a secure website: use the syntax, HTTPS://URL\Description

To link to a standard http website: use the syntax, HTTP://URL\Description

Where:

HTTP://	is case-sensitive.
URL	is the destination URL.
Description	is a suitable description of the website. OneData displays this text in the data grid.

Example: HTTPS://google.com\google

Note: The description is required for OneData to recognize the hyperlink in the data column.

OneData opens the clicked hyperlink in a new window.
