About Adding Hyperlinks to a Query

For each column in a query, you can configure one or more URLs to display as hyperlinks in the query results. When a user runs the query, the GE Digital APM system will build the URLs as needed, passing data from the query results into the URL parameters if necessary, and will display in the query results hyperlinks that the user can select to access the associated feature or perform the associated function.

For example, you might define a URL on a field to an external website. When a user runs the query, the GE Digital APM system will build a hyperlink from that URL and display the link to the user in the query results. The user will be able to select the hyperlink to open the website in a new browser tab.

If you configure only one URL for a field, when you run the query, that URL will be used to build a single hyperlink in that cell of the query results. If you have not modified the Field cell, whatever values are found in the database for that column will serve as the text for each hyperlink. For example, if an Asset ID column contains a URL to open a record in the Record Manager, when you run the query, the actual Asset IDs retrieved by the GE Digital APM system will appear as hyperlinks in the results.
