How to add hyperlinks to custom reports
- Timothy Hitchcock
Crows Nest uses a custom protocol that will allow you to add hyperlinks in your reports that will take you directly to a specific location in Crows Nest.
Open the main Report Builder window.
Select “Menu bar > Insert > Text Box”
Click the location in the report where you want to position the Text Box.
You will now see a text box appear.
Right-click the Text Box and select Text Box Properties.
Select Action from the left-hand pane.
Click the radio button for “Go to URL.”
Enter the link into the Select URL text box.
Select OK to close the window.
Now you can enter your desired text.
For this example, we are inserting a link which will take you to Change Order #3 in the Project form.
When imported to Crows Nest, clicking this link in your custom report will take you to Change Order #3 in the Project Form.
