Aptify includes a hyperlink functionality that allows users to open records in the corresponding service directly from the view. (See Enabling or Disabling Hyperlinks for Fields in a List View for information on working with this functionality.) However, there are situations where it is either not desirable or inappropriate to allow users access to the linked record. For example, users should not be able to access an embedded Addresses record from a list view. Having access to the Addresses records gives the user the ability to update the addresses directly from the Addresses record, which is not appropriate. Therefore, Aptify provides the ability to disable the hyperlink functionality for a particular entity.

Aptify Web 6.1 includes support for displaying the required fields of a list view in hyperlinks to open the corresponding services directly from the view.


The hyperlink functionality is disabled, and cannot be enabled, for entities that are embedded in one or more container entities via an embedded link field (for example, the Payment Information, Addresses and Phone Numbers entities).



Follow the steps below to disable the hyperlink functionality for a particular entity.

  1. Open or create a view within the Entities service.
  2. Double‐click the entity that you want to configure.
  3. Click the Configuration tab.
  4. Click the Attributes sub‐tab.
  5. Click the New icon to create a new Entity Attributes record.
  6. Enter DisableHyperlink in the Name field.
  7. Enter 1 in the Value field.
  8. Save and close the entity.

To modify the behavior of the hyperlink functionality so that linked fields are displayed as hyperlinks (the default behavior), open the entity that you want to modify and either remove the Disable Hyperlink attribute or enter 0 in the Value field of the DisableHyperlink attribute.


A user can also control the appearance of linked fields as hyperlinks on a per view basis. See Enabling or Disabling Hyperlinks for Fields in a List View for details.



Follow the steps below to disable the hyperlink functionality for a particular entity.

Disabling of hyperlink functionality for List view fields cannot be performed using the Aptify web interface. You must use the Aptify Desktop client to perform this procedure.

  1. Open or create a view within the Entities service.
  2. Double‐click the entity that you want to configure.
  3. Click the Configuration tab.
  4. Click the Attributes sub‐tab.
  5. Click the New icon to create a new Entity Attributes record.
  6. Enter DisableHyperlink in the Name field.
  7. Enter 1 in the Value field.
  8. Save and close the entity.
  9. Log into the Aptify Web and notice that the hyperlink checkbox is disabled and cannot be check-marked. In the below example, the company field has been disabled and cannot be check-marked for the hyperlink functionality.

To modify the behavior of the hyperlink functionality so that linked fields are displayed as hyperlinks (the default behavior), open the entity that you want to modify and either remove the Disable Hyperlink attribute or enter 0 in the Value field of the DisableHyperlink attribute.
