The currant version functionality works for Pre-filled Add Record, Edit and Print Record forms only (blank Add Record forms will not work yet, because the URLs for the links must be populated by a Formula - Rich Text field in QB). URLs embedded in forms are displayed and are clickable before and after a form completer submits the form. They can open web pages in another tab, and can display web images or play video (from YouTube and some sources) directly in the form (blank form space permitting). Current functionality consists of creating 2 fields:
A Formula - Rich Text field in your target QB table, and populating the formula with the path and URL, like this:
"<a href='https://quickbase.com' target='_blank'>Open Quickbase</a>"
You replace the URL and link label you want to display on the form in this code.
Creating or having a Formula URL field with any valid formula in it (doesn’t matter what the field or formula is, because we’re just using it on the form to display the Link/clickable URL in the Formula - Rich Text field.
Then digitize your form, and put the Formula URL field on the form where you want the link to display. Then (for Prefill Add Record form use), use the wizard here to create a Prefill field for the form:
And in this next wizard menu, create the Prefill Value choosing the Target Table as the Target table for your form, input a name for the Prefill field that will be created, choose the Formula URL field as your Target Field and the Formula - Rich Text field as your Source Field. Click the + to create the Prefill statement* and then click Create to generate the Formula URL field in your target table that will launch prefill form with a clickable Link/URL embedded field.
* If you have multiple links in the form, create a prefill statement for each link before clicking Create.
Creating this field will give you the URL field/button for the Add Record form with the clickable link(s) embedded, and the links will work in the form. They will not display in the generated pdf.
