Link Properties

Select the Link control on the Screen Design page to view and configure its properties using the Properties page.

Limitations of the Link control include:
  • On the iOS platform, you cannot return to the mobile workflow once you switch to a different application. For example, if you click the link to send an e-mail message, you cannot return to the previously open mobile workflow; you must relaunch it.
  • On the iOS simulator, clicking the Mailto link has no effect since there is no e-mail client on the simulator.
Property Description
Label The text that appears comes from the key or, if that is not supplied, from the default value.
Input data binding
  • Key – the unique identifier within the scope of the widget, used when setting or retrieving a value.

    Click New key to create a new key for the control.

  • Default value – default value for the control.
HREF settings
  • Logical type – choose the logical type. The logical type controls the values of the text fields prefix and suffix, which are used to build the content of the anchor. For example:

    <a href=mailto:user@<email_address>send mail</a>

    Selecting the logical type enables the prefix and suffix fields. Choose Custom to supply your own prefix and suffix.

  • Prefix – if you select Custom as the logical type, you can enter your own custom prefix.
  • Suffix – if you select Custom as the logical type, you can enter your own custom suffix.
