Hiding Record URL behind a text

Hello Varun,

You can use safe link function and in label field mention the required name for the long URL 

below is the sample code the requirement

with(

local!url:urlforrecord(cons!A_AD_RECORD_TYPE, "7"),
a!linkField(
label:"link",
links:a!safeLink(
label :"Record Link",
uri: local!url
)
)
)

Thanks,

Thanks Ashwin for the reply, there are two sides of the requirement.

• That's not working when it comes to showing that link in email text, as per your code it's working fine on SAIL interface but in email text it's still giving a long string something like:

         [@attributes=, label=link, instructions=, links=[@attributes=, uri=https://appian-        mumbai.vpsapp.net/suite/tempo/records/item/lMBYMw7RwsTsh_lC78_BnnjnmneAAcR3V76G5nrZcN39TzPPbnDhfqN19y_6N591BcJAGYDBcjjq9qEkq5XgXx24X-2qITnvLohIP7jkCT88DsOmg/view/summary, label=Record Link, actions=, tooltip=, openInSameTab=], labelPosition=ABOVE, align=DEFAULT, actions=, helpTooltip=, accessibilityText=]

           Instead, it should show "Record Link" on which I can click. 

• It works in SAIL form but the link directs to Record in tempo (Record's tempo URL), I want it to direct to record in site (Record's site URL) as users will be performing 99% of their tasks from site only.

Thanks again

If you want to direct to a site, you need to be a bit creative. The last path link is the same if you are using a site, but you will have to change the beginning part of the URL. For example, I extracted the long path part and concatenated the site information and /view/summary to build the correct site URL:

concat(
  "https://mysite.appiancloud.com/suite/sites/customer-site/page/all-customers/record/",
  extract(
    urlforrecord(
      cons!MY_CUSTOMER_RECORD_TYPE,
      1
    ),
    "/item/",
    "/view/"
  ),
  "/view/summary"
)

Between this and what Mike suggested below, you should be able to construct the URL to use in your email.
