How to create a hyperlink in the SQL Table Editor column

Hello,

We have a url stored in SQL server as a text. When we retrieve that we want it to appear as a hyperlink in SQl table editor. Could someone please help.

Thank You,

Indu

    The hyperlink effect is enabled through the presentation layer ie you need to put the http address in the appropriate HTML tags. And that will be something like this:

    <a href='http://www.onestream.com'>OneStream website</a>

     I haven't tried it in the SQL Table editor so I don't know if it will translate the HTML commands correctly.

      Hi Marcus,

      I did try that but its the  SQL table editor that does not show it as a hyperlink. I am about to put a ticket to see what OS has to say.

       

      Thank You,

    No it did not work. Recommendation from OS is to create a button. So when the row is selected then click this button outside the Dashboard and that will take you to the url.

    Really cumbersome.
