What is a Link Field?
Link fieldsΒ can be used to store links. For instance, you can use link fields to store website links, LinkedIn Profile links, article links, or any other type of link.Β
Field Options
Creating or editing a Link Field will have the following options to configure:
Name
This setting allows you to name your link field. For instance, "Link" or "Website".
Description
This setting allows you to optionally provide a brief description of this field for your own reference.
Default Form Value
This setting allows you to enter a default text or link value to automatically populate within the link field box within a form. For instance, if you enter "tadabase.io" as the Default Form Value, forms will automatically load with the tadabase.io link pre-entered within the link field box.
Open Link In New Window
This setting allows you to choose whether you would like the link to open in a new window when clicked. By default the Open Link In New Window setting is set to No, meaning links will open within the same window when clicked unless this setting is changed toΒ Yes.
Link Format
This setting allows you to define the text that displays your link within components once it is submitted via a form.
By default, the Link Format is set to Use the URL, meaning the link URL is the text that will display your link with components after it is saved via a form.
There are 3 other formatting options you can choose to display your links within components.
- Use the same texts for all links
- Use the unique text for each link
- Format link as an Image.
For instance, if you change the Link Text Format to the "Use the same texts for all links" option, a box will appear titled "Link Text" where you can enter the text value you wish to display forΒ all links within your components after they are saved via a form. This text format setting can be useful if you would like to have the same text displayed for all your links, such as "Please Click Here".
Alternatively, if you change the Link Text Format to the "Use the unique text for each link" option, you will have the opportunity to enter a unique text value each time you save a new value to the Link field.
Link Field Restrictions
Link Fields are object fields. Object fields or individual items within an object may not be available for use in across all Tadabase features, such as Rules, Filters, and Automations.
