How to set up hyperlink to attachments

dalvarez — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 19:31:29 GMT

Hello!!

The layer I'm working with has a SERVER_PATH and Hyperlink attributes. I want the values of the SERVER_PATH (which are different for each asset) to automatically go to the end of the hyperlink. I have all the values for the SERVER_PATH field and have been populating each hyperlink individually. Any ideas on how to do automate this process?

See below picture

Thanks!!

There are a few different ways to do this.

Field calculate it to equal the hyperlink+Serverpath (Arcade)

$feature.SERVER_PATH + "\\" +$feature.Hyperlink

if the url is always the same, then just do whatever the URL is + Serverpath

"www.exampleURL.com\\" +$feature.Hyperlink

If just for the popup, use the same Arcade expression as the popup and hide the fields you don't need.

You can also set up an attribute rule for it, but I'm not familiar with how to do that.

Good to hear.

Just a warning, it looks like you're missing a backslash between .org and Traffic

Add in "\\" to the expression to fix the links if they don't work.

Thanks!

this expression worked for me: "https://wpbgisportal.wpb.org/Traffic/" + $feature.FILE_ + $feature.Hyperlink

A hyperlink was created for every asset

My issue is backwards - wondering if anyone has insight. I need to create the Server path from the hyperlink
