URL Field

With the URL Field type, Users can enter any website address and the URL is displayed as an HTML link. The content of that link will be displayed in a new browser window. The following properties can be defined while creating an URL field:

  • Field Properties

    • Field Label — (mandatory) is displayed on the left from the field on view, edit, and new record pages.

    • View Header — (optional) is used in headers of views and reports. If not specified, the Field Label is used.

    • View Width — (optional) is used to set width (in pixels or %) of columns in views and reports. If not specified, the browser calculates the width of columns automatically.

    • Default Size — The default size of the input field shown in forms (you can override this default as a page-level property using the page editor).

     

  • Advanced Field Properties — For more information, see Advanced field properties.

  • Integration Name — The integration name is used to reference this field via merge fields or with Platform APIs.

  • Field-Level Help — The Field-Level Help box allows you to define help text for the field that will appear in a popup when the user clicks the help icon next to the field.

Tip: You can specify "Link Text" to be used as the text representation of this URL. If link text is not specified the URL itself (possibly truncated with ellipses) will be used.
