URL in procedures and messages
1. What is your idea?
Facilitate the redirection of the user to an external URL, within a procedure.
2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to?
I have a business case these days where we would like to direct the users to a specific URL (a feedback form in that case, hosted in Office 365), at the end of a submit procedure in our app.
3. What workaround have you found and used so far (if any)?
What we tried so far:
- include the URL in a "show message" action: impossible because the link is not active (and it is too long anyway).
- redirect within the procedure : no action for that is available
- include the form in a "webview" in a specific screen: possible but not ideal in terms of ergonomics.
4. What is your role in your organization?
Finance project team manager.
5. Suggested solution
- Add new possible action within a capsule procedure "open a URL in a new tab" similar to what a label/button action would do.
- Add formatting options to the "show message" action in the procedures, such as URL formatting, or simply line breaks !
Thanks,
