Hyperlink Prompt

Step 6: Field Layout

Note:
The Hyperlink Prompt option is applicable when the field is not the last Key segment.

The Add a Hyperlink Prompt window is used to add a hyperlink to a data dictionary field prompt only if the field is not the last Key segment. For example, a hyperlink can be added to the "SalesRepCode" prompt to launch Sales Representatives Maintenance. When a hyperlink prompt is added, the cell contents are underlined.

(The ability to add/edit a Hyperlink Prompt was added in PxPlus 2021.)

To invoke this window, use one of the following methods:

     • Click the Add Object button (above the Layout Grid) and select the Hyperlink Prompt option. OR

     • Right click on a cell in the Layout Grid, select Add Object from the popup menu and then select the Add or Edit a Hyperlink Prompt option.
