How to set target window of hyperlinks in Reporting Studio?

Hello Rhishi,

you can try something like this:

1) Create a new data item (let's call it Link) in your query with the following expression to build an HTML link:

where [URL] is the data item in the query containing the hyperlink.

2) Add an HTML Item to your list in the report


3) Set the HTML Item properties as follow:
- HTML Source > Source Type > Data Item Value
- HTML Source > Data Item Value > Link (the data item created at point 1)

Result:


Clicking on the link will open it in a new window.

Hello Sarika,

in my example the HTML fragment is build like this:

You can replace the second [URL] item, with whatever you want to display as the link text.

I have two columns, Name and Link, I used the hyperlink item to display the Name (text source)and Link (URL source) but the link opens in the same tab. If I use the HTML item, how can I make it display the Name and have the source URL as the Data item Value of Link as for the HTML item I only see HTML source.
