Open a URL based on value in Form

MeleKoneya

Hello,

We are migrating our hydrant review app to field maps.

Part of the current Web App Builder is the ability to launch our own work order URL when a repair is needed.

The URL passes in the asset_id as an argument and the web page opens allowing fire crews to update the issues they may have found in the field.

Can I do with this a field maps form? I have a review status field in the form where one value is 'Needs Repair' When that is selected, I would like an action to open the web page.

Thank you,

Mele

Yes you can do this with an Info note and expression. Here is a guide that will run you through the steps:

This is great! I am able to add the info element and make it conditionally available. For some reason, I do not see the expression I created and only the attributes of the layer. Is there a particular place to add an expression that uses a value from the layer for use in the URL?

I found a way to do it. I added a field to the form and created an expression for the URL. I then hid the field and saw the expression in the Info element when I went in to configure it.

Perfect! You can add expressions but not use them, then use them elsewhere
in the form.
