Hyperlink from Qlik Sense not working

[Danijel]

Hello all,

We have in a Qlik Sense application within a table a field with a url. This field is also displayed as url and works within the Qlik Sense application (Feb 2022 Patch1).

Now we distribute this tab as html report within an email (NP May 2021 SR4). There the "link" is no longer displayed correctly. Only the name "Link" is displayed as hyperlink.

I have already tested it with HTML Encode, as well as a formula within the report.

My HTML code is:
<td valign=top height=25 width=150> <a href="%%url_1%%">Link</a> </td>

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Greetings

@Danijel

I would suggest turning on your Developer tools and checking for errors when you click that link.

Further, and full disclosure, it's not abundantly clear at to what your use case here is. Is it a link to an NPrinting Report? Does the link work when you click it in Qlik Sense hub?

We don't know what the hyperlink is suppose to do or connect to (a bit of a black box here).

If you could clarify the detailed steps to reproduce the issue, then perhaps we could provide additional insight.

Kind regards...

Hello @Frank_S ,

within the Qlik Sense application I have a link which also works within the application.

The link opens a specific web page.

As soon as I now distribute the table in NP the defined name is stored as hyperlink, the actual link to the web page is no longer present.

I was able to reproduce this with a small example.

In the attachment still two pictures for this.

Ok it seems clearer now but just to confirm.

You want to see the actual link ie: www.google.com

rather than 'Link'

Is that correct?

Does clicking 'Link' still take you to the expected web address? or does it fail to redirect you to the intended internet address entirely?

Lastly,

Make sure to check that the table object is up to date:

• Refresh the NPrinting Connection
• Right click on the table object in the NPrinting Designer
• click 'Update'

Perhaps this solves the issue?

Thanks!

Hello @Frank_S ,

I would like to see the term "link", but behind it should be the hyperlink to www.google.com.

So, when I click on the link, the page from google should open.

Currently, only the browser with the address "Link" is opened here, as seen in the second image.

I have already updated the metadata several times, as well as the table within the designer. I have also already re-added these several times.

Hi @Ruggero_Piccoli 

yes the posts I had found before, unfortunately they do not help me here.

I have a field in which the complete URL is stored, nothing needs to be transformed or added here.

I have already tested with the formulas. Unfortunately without success.

If necessary, I can also attach a QA sample app with NP report.

Greetings

@Danijel

Yes, please share a sample and I will be happy to test.

Kind regards...

thanks @Frank_S

Thank you.

Hi @Ruggero_Piccoli

I have test this many different ways and it is not working where inserting the URL field produces an active link.

I also tried 

• Switching to 'text' rather than 'link' representation in the source QVF and still get the same output.
• <a href="url">link text</a> in the html editor but I only get 'url' not the website as expected.

Clicking either website link generated the browser output on the bottom right corner of the image below.
Perhaps you have have a look at this one...thx!
