URL in procedures and messages

Etienne CAUSSE

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

1. Add new possible action within a capsule procedure "open a URL in a new tab" similar to what a label/button action would do.
2. Add formatting options to the "show message" action in the procedures, such as URL formatting, or simply line breaks !

Thanks,

Etienne
