Convert a field to a hyperlink

John_RMellor__GISP — Thu, 16 May 2019 14:01:28 GMT

I need to convert a field to a hyperlink. It appears I can do this in ArcGIS Pro; https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000018754 , however, I want to point to a local “O” drive; (filepath, link name) <a href="O:\common\Pictures\CULVERTS\Mercer\N961 Sherrard Road\m000.390" target="_top">m000.390</a> . When I open my attribute table this field is not showing up as a link. Any suggestions?

What about when you open the pop-up for a feature with a hyperlink? That technical article that you point indicates that the link will be in the pop-up, not the attribute table...

Thank you Kory, seems I was looking to the attribute table and should have been looking to the Pop Up;

Hey John, our public web maps have hyperlinks. They open various documents stored on our server. The attribute value is just the name of the document, for instance 0265378.pdf, but on the back end in WAB there is some code that changes the feature's pop up to say 'Click here for more information' and points to the right path. I did not take part in the configuration of this though, so I would have to look into it and get back to you on exactly how it is done.
