Adding a link to a column

Sometimes, you collect a website URL or email address on your form, and instead of adding them to your View as another column, you want to use those fields to put a link in the name column, for example. For cases like that, we'll use the field Merge Tags inside a Custom Content field.

Let's start with our View:

Table with columns: Name, Email, and Website. Website column contains hyperlinks

Instead of adding the website column to the View, I want to use those URLs to create a link on the name column, so when you click on a name on the View, you are redirected to that website.

We will start by adding a Custom Content field to our View:

Add Field dialog showing option to insert Custom Content for aligning fields side-by-side

Then, we are going to add an HTML link to that name column using HTML tags:

Add a hyperlink to a column using HTML and merge tags from optional form fields

And voilá:

Hover over a name to view the linked website URL in the browser status bar
