URL field attributes

The URL field attribute allows you add a hypertext link to grids and forms. For grids, you can specify a link to a URL for each row that gets added to the grid.

For URL field attributes, you specify database columns that hold the actual URL (DB Column for URL) and the link text that displays in the final grid or form ( Database Column).

This attribute type is not available for campaign or cell attributes.

In the DB Column for URL field you do not have to enter http//. For example, to link to Google, you can enter either www.google.com or http://www.google.com.

For example, suppose you have a grid that contains vendor data, and for each vendor, you are required to specify a web site for the vendor. In the Forms Editor, you can create a URL attribute as follows.

Field	Example Value	Description
Type	Select URL Field
Internal Name	vendorURL
Display Name	Vendor URL
Database Column	textURL This is the column that holds the display text for the link.
DB Column for URL	linkURL This is the column that holds the actual URL.

After you set up an object in Unica Marketing Operations that uses this form, users who add grid rows or populate a form specify a URL. In a grid, users can specify a URL for each row. Users can then can then click a link to open the web site in a new window.
