URLs in Generated Documents

Hi All,

I have created a template for document generation that I can easily use to pull relevant information for monthly reporting. As we are new to SmartSheet, we are still running manual pdf reports to our executives for the foreseeable future. To encourage people to get used to SmartSheet though, we want to have URL links in the report. We already have a column in our main project register that specifically links to the project's dashboard but when I generate the document in SmartSheet it only shows the display text and does not "link" it with the underlying URL. Is there a way to get this to automatically generate in the document mapping? Even if it is the URL without the display text?

At the moment I'm generating the documents then going in and manually adding each link to each page which can be time consuming.

    Dear Sacha,

    I just checked and it seems that Smartsheet unfortunately as for now does not recognise the links while creating PDF's in Document Builder.

    I think you shall request this option in the Product Idea part of this community.
