Hyperlinks in Metadata fields

Hi Dinesh, 

Thank you for submitting the request.

It’s not something that we are planning in the short term, but would like to look into it. 
Could you please give some examples on how would you use this functionality? 
For which data types you would expect to have hyperlinks and maybe some examples of metadata fields where this would be helpful.

Thank you,

Andreea.

Hi @dinesh.makked curious to learn about any examples you might have for using this functionality? Looking forward to hearing from you :)

Hi @Anita Hæhre, 

My apologies for the delay. Here are some use-cases supporting the enhancement request.

1. Jump to the external Power BI dashboard from an asset record in CDF and open information for the given asset. To achieve this goal, we will create a Metadata field for the Asset containing the value of the URL for the dashboard. The URL is constructed dynamically to include Asset ID as the URL parameter. An example of the URL is https://xxxx799.acme.com/Reports/powerbi/Asset Portal?filter=Assets/id eq 9999922243
2. Store URLs for the externally stored documents on Document Management System. 
3. Store URLs for external systems to directly launch the external system and open the record for the specified asset. 

Please let me know if this answers your queries. If you need more details, please let me know and we can get on the phone.

Thanks,

Dinesh
