Link

Capture a web address, checked for a valid format.

Link captures a web address and checks that it is valid, for example that it starts with https://.

In the previous version this type was called URL.

Use cases

• Reference link to a product page or ticket.
• Document link to a shared file.
• Tracking link from a courier.

Properties

1. Default Value: a link filled in for every new task.
2. Visible: when off, the field is hidden on the web and the field app; its value is still kept and exported.
3. Required: the task cannot be saved or finished until a link is entered.
4. Show As: show the link in the task list as the task’s Title, Content or Label.

Showing the link on a later page

A View of type Link on a field app page can preview what the link points to: choose Image, Video or PDF in Type of Preview. For a video, Skipable decides whether the field worker must watch it to the end.

On the field app

The field shows a text box with https:// as the placeholder. An entry that is not a valid link cannot be submitted. A link can be tapped to open it in the browser.
