Add clickable link in custom message on QlikView access point

AS_A — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hello,

I want to add a clickable hyper link in custom system message on top of access point.

Tried to edit webserver config.xml file but it is not taking any code.

Please help me with this.

Did you try to add the wanted link (as it is as well as with a html-syntax) within the message?

If this doesn't work you will probably need an adjustment to the various html-sources of the access point - especially the index.htm. Before starting it - make sure that you have a BACKUP of these files.

Hi @marcus_sommer

Yes, I tried to add html code as below but not working all the message between <href> and after </herf> is getting vanished from in access point, inside system message it is not taking any html code.

<href> message</href>

</SystemMessage>

Had you stopped the services for this adjustments? If not you may get no write-access respectively the running ram-copy may overwrite it again. Instead of adjusting the config directly you may better use the QMC for it:

Beside this be aware that you are trying to embed html within html which may require extra statements to end and start the origin html-code properly in which you want to insert your custom one and/or any masking stuff.

But with a bit trial & error you should be able to limit the challenges - maybe at first with any string, then with one which looked like a link and if it's not clickable you could start to wrap it with html-syntax - and see what happens (also within the site source-code).
