URL link in ArcGIS Online Dashboard table

YosefBodovski1 — Sun, 23 Jun 2024 04:47:09 GMT

Hello, I am trying to generate clickable links in the ArcGIS Dashboard table for the field called 'MyURL'.

Here is the 'displayText' Arcade expression I am trying to use:

displayText : `<a href = ${$datapoint["MyURL"]} target = "blank"> ${$datapoint["MyURL"]} </a>`,

Unfortunately all links point to the original dasboard site and not to the URL listed in the field.

Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks!

I think you are missing a couple of " in your expression. Try this expression instead:
`<a href = "${$datapoint["MyURL"]}" target = "blank"> ${$datapoint["MyURL"]} </a>`

Thanks for the advice, but missing " wasn't the issue. I think I figured this one out. The URL needs to contain the 'https://' prefix to work properly within ArcGIS Online system. For example it need to appear as 'https://www.wikipedia.org/' and not as 'www.wikipedia.org'
