Use links in tables

You can use dimension values of the Text type as links in a table. The dimension values are converted and displayed as links in the table cells. If the dimension values are already in a link format, for example, URLs, you can use them directly to open an endpoint. If you enable the option, a placeholder (${data.self}) is automatically created for the dimension values. To use any dimension values as links, you can, for example, specify a URL and combine the URL with the placeholder.

Example 60.

http://example.com/${data.self}



Procedure. Procedure

  1. Assign a dimension of the Text type to the Table component. The dimension values are displayed in a column of the table.

  2. Select the dimension from the drop-down menu at the top of the Configuration panel. The configuration panel of the selected dimension opens.

  3. Enable the Display as a link option. The dimension values are displayed as links in the table. More options for configuring the links are displayed in the panel.

    Please note that your settings are lost if you disable the Display as a link option again.

  4. To change the links displayed in the table cells, specify a link in the Link input field, for example, http://example.com/${data.self}. The default value is the ${data.self} placeholder.

    If you specify a link without the placeholder, for example, http://example.com, all dimension values in the table column have the same value and open the same link.

  5. If you do not want to use URL-specific encoded characters, disable the Percent-encode value option. For example, the character / is coded URL-specifically as %2F. The option is enabled by default. The option only affects the values of the placeholder ${data.self}.

  6. If you want to change the display text of the links, disable the Use link as display text option and enter a text. By default, the text of the Link input field is used as display text.

  7. To open the links in the same tab, disable the Open in new tab option. The option is enabled by default.

You specified dimension values as links in a table.

Please note that the specified links are also exported when exporting the table data.
