FSM - Button to launch URL with variable data

Userlevel 5

+14

Hi,

Just wondering if it’s possible to allocate a URL to a button, and use data on the object i.e. a Task to use when building the URL itself.

Example being the task_id to be part of the URL when the button is selected on that record.

Tried a number of things such as a @ and {} on the object.

Is that possible?

We’re currently using FSM 5.7u11

Regards

Hi @AdrianEgley

2 options I can suggest:

Create a “regular” filed and set it’s URL with a business rule or client script.
Create a client script and set the URL dynamically. Set the script on any event you wish.

Pseudo code

var taskId = getControlValue('task','task_id');
var url = 'https://mysite.com/' + taskId
launchBrowser(url);

In the demo I used UDF field to store the URL and used the asset/product search button as a clickable event for the client script.

Cheers!

@Shneor

Thank you. That’s my first client script done!

Created the client script and applied that to a button.

Also got some other fields that would benefit from having URL’s launched when clicked.

Cheers Ady
