Add a weblink to a form based on a field in a feature service

Anonymous User

I have a form that is driven by a feature service. In the feature service I have a field that has a unique URL for each record. I have created a survey form using this feature-service and would like to add the unique url to the form as a web link. I can get the URL to show in the survey form with out adding any syntax label field but the URL it is not clickable? The form field is called GMAP_HYPERLINK.

I can get the form to present a weblink when I add this from example from the types tab .

<a href="http://www.esri.com">Link to esri web site</a> I get a link in the form that takes me to esri.com.

Here is the syntax I tried to generate a link from the pre-calculated field GMAP_HYPERLINK.

this is what I get in the form (See Attached)

I am sure I am missing something in the syntax but I can't seem to figure it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi Robert,

Just to check, but does the link text follow a full HTML tag pattern?

<a href="[link]">Click here to open</a>

It currently looks like you only have the first part.

Anonymous User

Yes, I believe the URL's saved in the feature service "GMAPS_HYPERLNK" field are complete URLs.

Here is an example: Google Maps

This URL can be pasted directly into a browser and it will take you to the location in Google Maps

At this point with the <a href="[GMAPS_HYPERLNK]">Click here to open</a>

This is what I get in the form.

Hi Robert,

Any chance you can share the full value of the note in the XLSfile? That would help debug. Alternatively, here's a sample that does work.

URL from field.xlsx

Not sure what you are asking for? the entire .XLS file or just the row of the note?

JamesTedrick

The row of the note should be sufficient, though the entire XLS file would definitely help.

Here is the top of the form I have with the note field. I reconfigured the syntax based on your sample.

Thanks!

Hi Robert,

Can you try

concat('<a href="',${GMAPS_HYPERLNK},'">Click here to open</a>')

- text portions must be encapsulated with either single or double quotes (' or "). When doing HTML, I tend to use ' for this as HTML uses quoted attributes extensively, which I use " for

- field values should be separated from text portions and is referenced by ${question}, per XLSforms
