With EasyTable Pro's field options you can combine several fields to produce a custom URL for each record.

This FAQ assumes you know about EasyTable Pro's field tokens, you may want to read this article about the basics of using field tokens for substitution functions.

There are lots of things you can do with URL's you may want a custom text for each click link or you may want to set a subject in an Email link, we'll look at both of these to try and provide you with a base skill set to help you achieve your goals on your website.

For the purposes of this FAQ we're assuming our table has fields with the following names and alias.

Some typical records might be:

A custom link text

Rather than having the raw URL or the same link text for each row (eg. Click Here), a nice presentation might be "Click here to open MyBusiness's Website".

Using the example table and records to achieve this with EasyTable Pro you need to take several steps first:

1. set the field "Website URL" to a type of "TEXT" (this prevents EasyTable Pro apply type specific formatting to the field).
2. set the field options to the following:

NB: the target is set to open a new browser window.

To create a mailto: link, is a similar process, except this time we are adding options to the field with the email address in it.

1. set the field "Email" to a type of "TEXT"
2. set the field options to the following:

NB: the %20 is the HTML equivalent to a ' ' ie. a space.
