Displaying Fields as Hyperlinks in List Views By Default

Aptify can display linked fields as hyperlinks in list views allowing 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. An administrator can configure whether or not the linked fields are displayed as hyperlinks or normal fields by default.

To use this feature, add the ShowHyperlinkInViewDefault attribute to the entity in which the linked field belongs, configured with the appropriate default behavior. For example, if you want to create a view from the Persons service that contains a hyperlink to open records in the Employees service, the attribute must be added to the Employees service.

Follow the steps below to modify the behavior of the hyperlink functionality for a particular entity so that linked fields are not displayed as hyperlinks by default for list views within the Aptify system. 

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 ShowHyperlinkInViewDefault 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, open the entity that you want to modify and either remove the ShowHyperlinkInViewDefault attribute or enter 0 in the Value field of the ShowHyperlinkInViewDefault attribute.
