Use the Open URL event action to
allow users to open hyperlinks from visual dashboards.
About this task
For example, you can use label with incorporated Open
URL event action, by clicking on which users can go to
the company's website. You can also use calculated expressions to
create dynamic links that are formed on the basis of user's actions
and the context in which they are used.
To
incorporate an Open URL event action in an
object:
Procedure
- From the Visual Designer perspective,
select the object in the editor window and double-click the event
that you want to trigger the Open URL action.
- In the [objectname] Behavior window,
click the Add New Action.
- Select Open URL in
the actions tree and click Next.
Note: To
quickly find the required event action, type the name of the action
in the filter text field.
- In the URL parameters area, specify
whether to open the link in a new window or in a new tab.
Note: The Target parameter
is actual only for QMF for WebSphere®.
- In the URL field, specify the link
or calculated expression. To open the Expression Designer window,
double-click in the URL field.
Note: You
can specify either an absolute or relative URL. The relative URL starts
with a slash (/) and contains the part of a link that succeeds the
base URL. In this case, the absolute URL will be formed by concatenating
the base URL (http://host:port/application_path)
and relative URL.
- Click Finish.
The Print
URL action is added to the list of actions and the Add
New Action window closes.
- In the [objectname] Behavior window,
click Apply to apply all actions that have
been added for the event.
- Click OK to close the [objectname]
Behavior window.
