Hyperlink Field Properties

This field is designed to store a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). When configuring hyperlink fields, it is important to consider both the common and field specific properties that are available for use. The field specific properties are defined below.

Note: All field types  have common field properties which are described separately.

Field Specific Properties

This set of properties is used specifically for configuring hyperlink fields.

Language

The language drop-down menu only appears if multilingual support has been enabled for the site. It is used in conjunction with the default value. Select a language from the drop-down menu and complete the field (note that this field is not required). The text entered for the field will appear in the database tool when the respective community display language has been selected. Select another language and complete the field if multilingual support is desired.

Note:  If the default value is completed in only one language, the text entered will be displayed for each language the community supports.

Default Value

Specify a default value if the new record form should begin with a suggested value in this field.  Ensure the default value matches the field type and content validation settings.

Input Width

Enter a number that represents the desired width or space provided to enter content for this field on the form (i.e. enter 50 for 50 pixels).

Destination

Select the desired behaviour for users clicking on a hyperlink in this field:

Custom Pop-up Properties

If "custom pop-up window" was selected, specify the desired custom window properties. Each variable is followed by an equal sign and options are delimited by a comma. Window height and width are pixel values (do not specify units). Other options are given a 1 or 0 to indicate if the property is enabled. Options include: toolbar, location (address bar), directories (secondary toolbars), status (bottom status bar), menuBar (text-based menu), scrollBars and resizable. Copy and paste the examples below to ensure the syntax is correct.
