[Constellation] How to place a link in an editable table

General

In Constellation, we can display properties of EmbeddedData or DataReference in a table format.

However, in an EmbeddedData table, we cannot create a link (Show additional details → Additional details - Display as link to object).

We expect to be able to navigate to the detail screen of the relevant record. How can we achieve this?

Best regards,

In 25.1, this is feasible on Insights to show additional details using the format. Please find the attached screenshot for your reference.

Thank you for sharing the information about the improvements in version 25.1. I will apply for the Community Edition and try to confirm it.

You mentioned “Insights,” but is it also possible to do the same for a Table using EmbeddedData properties, displayed in a normal screen View?

Thank you.

Sorry, this feature is available only for Insights. It’s a new feature in 25.1 release.

Thank you for your reply. I was able to solve this issue. I have since confirmed in the Community Edition that it is possible to create a link from EmbeddedData to a data object by implementing the following solution.

Although I ended up resolving it myself, your answer was very helpful. Thank you very much.

Solution

  1. Create a property of type URL.
  2. In a Pre-FlowAction (either a DataTransform or an Activity), set the URL to open the data object’s screen. Example (Community Edition): https://nujjapdp.pegace.net/prweb/PRAuth/app/supply-chain-blueprinttest/data/supplier2?dataViewName=D_Supplier2&Name=testSupplier&portal=WebPortal
  3. Add the URL property to the EmbeddedData table.
  4. Set the URL’s configuration to “ReadOnly” and set it to use a “URL Label”.

@KentoO31For future reference, here’s a tip for others:

Another user has summarized how to implement this in a modal window in the article below.
