Anchor links within a Designer form, is this possible?

Good Morning,

I would like to add Anchor Links to Jump to a Specific Part/Section of a form. Like an HTML page can or how cross referencing works in Word. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Emilee

Hi @nowackem ,

well, sort of. There is the setFocus() function which would move the focus to a field somewhere. BUT you must use an interactive field to jump to. If you want to use pages the you need to do the bookmark approach @girishbedekar showed you.

I have a quick example with both in it. See if that helps you...

To summarize - @girishbedekar had a great idea with the bookmarks which I may use on a different form but for this example, I needed a different approach. I was able to use @kosta_prokopiu1 's approach with the setFocus() function and make what I was calling my anchor links into a button then setting focus for them to the first interactive field in the section I wanted to link to and it works very well. Thank you both for your input, you got me there. 🙂

@ettenna1297  Below is a link to the file where I created "Anchor" buttons to simulate HTML Anchor Links.
