Insert clickable links¶
Adding links to related or supporting information can make your report or dashboard more user-friendly and effective.
You can insert a clickable link from any spreadsheet cell to:
a Cobuild menu item
another sheet inside the same spreadsheet
an external URL
You can insert a clickable link from any chart to a Cobuild menu item.
Note
Clicking a link to a menu item provides the same result as navigating via the Cobuild menu within an app, e.g., the menu item Sales/Orders/Quotations corresponds to the default view when navigating to .
It is also possible to insert a clickable link to a specific view of a model in a spreadsheet starting from the view itself. However, as this method inserts each new link in a new sheet, it is more efficient to create links to specific views starting from the spreadsheet.
Tip
Use the middle mouse button or Ctrl + left-click (Microsoft/Linux), or Command + left-click
(Mac OS) to open clickable links in a new browser tab.
