Survey123 report template - hyperlink from data field

Question

Hi there -

We're using Survey123 to build a custom report. Some of the values that we're trying to embed into the report template are hyperlinks. But in the output report, the urls are not hyperlinked. Is there a way in the report template to make the data value a hyperlink?

We would have thought that simply doing the standard "right-clicking --> Insert hyperlink" in Word would work, but the "address" box doesn't recognize the variable in the template.

Can provide more info if needed.

Thanks!

Hi, Zhifang.

Do you know when this feature will be added?  We would like to have a dynamically created URL for our dashboard, passing URL parameters so it goes directly to this feature in the feature layer. 
Thanks, Fay

Oh, how weird.

Does it matter what color blue?

One quick follow up with a weird work around. Someone else at esri told us that, when you create the report as a pdf, the pdf writer will generate hyperlinks IF YOU DO THE FOLLOWING:

1) The hyperlink must  be contained in a single unbroken (not multiple rows) line

2) Format the text for the hyperlink field in Word's blue hyperlink color

3) Underline the hyperlink text

Strange, but it works
