Hyperlinks in Reports

Ginger Mason

Hi,

On the first day of each month, I send a report listing all documents published in the previous month. The report includes hyperlinks to each document's location. 

Before the recent Smartsheet changes to reports, I would email the report with the active links; however, the email no longer includes the links. 

How can I send an Excel formatted report with active links?

Thank you,

Ginger Mason

Hi Ginger,

As you've found, there currently isn't a way to make hyperlinks default active when emailing/exporting a report (or sheet) in excel format.

Hyperlinks will export as active if you chose the pdf option instead.

Hi Shaine,

 

Thank you for the update. Do you know if hyperlinks are on the list for development?

FYI - I have not had success with hyperlinks in pdf format either. 

 

Thanks,

Ginger

I am not able to print a report where the Hyperlinks are active in the pdf report, just the text.  Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

This might have been the reason why it didn't work. Is it working now?

Hi vjateafxdotcom,

The ability to maintain hyperlinks upon export was temporarily disabled while we investigated a potential issue, and is now enabled again, and working as expected. 

Thank you,

Kara

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Hyperlinks are still not active when a grid is exported to a PDF. Is the issue still ongoing?

Hyperlinks do not appear to be working in the report itself. I don't need to export but I do need the hyperlinks to appear in the report.

I'm also having problems printing a dashboard to pdf and needing to keep the hyperlinks. Has anyone found a solution?
