Create URL Link in ArcGIS Dashboard List Widget

RichidtC — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 18:37:06 GMT

Hello, I have performed this once already but republished my data and now I can't seem to get it to work. I suspect something very easy, but I'm just spinning my wheels.

I have created a 'List' widget within ArcGIS Dashboards that I want populated within 1 record that is triggered from a separate serial chart within the dashboard. See below.

I now want to configure a hyperlink to an existing field I have in the data associated with every record, but I can't figure out the Link window or the proper arcade expression to write. The field that I want configured as a separate window popup is {LifeMode_Desc} as seen below. This field in my data has the full url https: link associated with each record.

However, when i do this, the hyperlink does not work on the text. Can you help?

Hit the source button to see what the HTML looks like. You should see something like:

<a href="{LifeMode_Desc}">{TLIFENAME}</a>

If you have anything different, just edit the HTML.

Thank you, yes, I was able to see the HTML. However, the hyperlink is still not responsive with the HTML below. Am I missing something?

Here is an example of the field from 'LifeMode_Desc', so I know the hyperlink exists in the data:

You need to edit the HTML so it is like my example. Your field contains the https protocol, and your HTML is also adding the https protocol. So your resulting link is https://https://yourlink - that is why it is not working.
