Hello,

I have my data coming from DB and I am displaying it on Tempo records. Now my data contains couple of HTML Tags. Out of that I just want to render , and <a href> tag. I am using below function to render and .

joinarray(apply(fn!striphtml,split(rf!ProcessInstanceDescription," ")),char(13))

Now I am not sure how to render <a href> , so i can create hyperlink on desired text. Could anyone please suggest the modification required in above code to achieve this?

Sample data coming from my DB is attached in the screenshot.

Thanks!...

SAIL cannot display HTML links in such a way. This is for security reasons.

I think this is the same topic as last week. See forum.appian.com/.../e-131781

Not sure the exact use case, but one idea would be to query the db to get any href values. Then in a section near the text display the array of links found using safelink or something else. forum.appian.com/.../SAIL_Components.html

Maybe? This might give your users a central point for all links that could be clicked.

Christine, tried the same without luck.
Seems Stefan is right, as this cant be achievable in SAIL.

I think Christine's idea is good. I think there is a regular expression plugin available that might be good for that.
