Hello Everyone,
I am have a BAQ that has part information and I was able to add the drawing path on to the BAQ.
So it reads:
Part Description Drawing URL
123-4 Forge Assembly 123-4 //AC/part/123-4.PDF
It displays on the report and even the dashboard, but I would like the link to bring up the PDF when clicked on. Is there a way to make this work?
Thanks In Advance.

First thing I thought of was to just wrap the URL in some HTML and throw it in a calculated field, but I’ll save you some time: that doesn’t work. Though I have gotten Kinetic to parse HTML inside custom alerts before, it will never let you render HTML in a column.
Second thing I thought was just do the same thing, write out a calculated field that prints a URL, and use a browser extension such as Linkificator to convert those to clickable links. This worked well enough for me but there are some caveats. Doesn’t play nice with spaces, is a third-party tool, is only available for Firefox, your organization might not let you install this, etc.
We do this in classic. I don’t know if that’s what you use and will help you but…
You have to change the Winforms to recognize the column in the grid as a URL.
We do this in dashboards by using the following code:
private void MainController_Load(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
grid1.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns["Calculated_pdfurl"].Style = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ColumnStyle.URL;
grid1.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns["Calculated_picurl"].Style = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ColumnStyle.URL;
}
}
This changes the two calculated columns named Calculated_pfdurl and Calculated_picurl in grid1 to hyperlinks like shown:

Hello Greg,
I am going through the document you sent me. How do I add the highlighted section to work?
This is my example below:
I click on the paper sheet next to X and don’t get the option to select a file.
Thanks in Advance.
