Note the Field Name (API name) to use later in your Data Mapper Extract.
For example, ins_238__Account_URL__c. Here ins_238__ is the namespace.
Add Hyperlink in Text Field for Omnistudio Document Generation
After you create a custom text field in an object, you must add the hyperlink to the custom text field. Use Omnistudio Data Mapper to render the hyperlink in the generated document.
- Open your object where you created the custom text field, and go to the Details tab.
-
Add the hyperlink in the custom text field.
For example, add the https://weather.com/ URL in the Account URL custom field.
