Hi Jordan, First of all, I'd like to congratulate you on the development of a text mode view that's among the best I've seen in my career. Not only does it reinforce the importance of having text mode capability, it also gives me hope that there are more fellow developers out there in the shadows waiting to shine in the community! Now for the answer to your question, but on the condition that we get some info on how exactly you accomplished that nifty picture icon column! Well, it's not really conditional because here's how you can get a clickable link in your view, which happens to be one of my favorite tricks and you're going to see why in a moment. First of all, and obviously, make sure you have custom fields for storing your URLs on the project custom form. Next, add the following text mode to the view: link.url=customDataLabelsAsString(Dev Items Report URL) linkedname=html(Dev Items Report URL) valueexpression=IF(ISBLANK({DE:Dev Items Report URL}),"",CONCAT("Open Report‚Ä£")) valueformat=HTML This is nice because it only renders a clickable link if there's a value in the field and you can customize the label where it says "Open Report". I use this method in "https://ddh.my.workfront.com/report/public/view?publicToken=Yqk9zPE6LJI5N8XTJ6N80-SYuKuAXKu9_JfDZbn_EJb0adBTVDXVtR1ODqGL0P6fk0P8UfrYpH4AaFouADRScwgnxrsw6gIk&endcap" WFPro Project , a package with some heavy custom views as seen here:
I also invite you to have a closer look at our "https://ddh.my.workfront.com/report/public/view?publicToken=kAg_d4Cii183xFY7oBgoU3OQyszPDd6udncq0yXv7oij_d_TdoNG9Mp3B9DHmSpPFTrtlXW9W-2MhVoWNiL1F6Cwu3uTzlRp&endcap" WFPro Navigation project report , which is quite similar to the report you're working on, but with a different purpose and a heavy reliance on the "Make this report public to external users" feature. One key difference is that I'm pulling documentation and testimonials from a task collection on the project instead of a custom field. However, other fields such as Versions, Manifest, Demo and Install are all referring to a custom field on the project as described above. If you're interested in that code, I can explain it as well. Let us know how this code works out for you and, if you can, share an updated screenshot.
Thanks, Narayan
Question
Hi there! We have a report that contains all of our active projects, pertinent info, recent updates, resources, etc. Now that we've integrated w. other internal applications, would like to add in links to other reports housing project specific info for each project. Would like to add in a column containing URLs fo Development Items Report:.... (Clickable URL that pulls up said report) Documentation Report:.... (Clickable URL that pulls up said report)
& so on... we have over 40 active projects at a time and I've created a report (second screenshot) previously that contains reporting links but can't figure out how to apply w. what we're trying to achieve here. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
