Good morning all!
I've got a Toad Data Report pulling data from a SQL server that contains both dynamic and static hyperlinks.
For the dynamic hyperlinks:
- Within the report detail band I have a ticket number (unique value) along with additional ticket details (dates, notes, etc). I created a calculated field called DynURL that would concatenate a URL string like 'www.domain.com/id=' and the ticket number ( Concat('www.domain.com/id=',[ticket number]) ) to produce a string like www.domain.com/id=1234. In the ticket number's field properties, I navigated to Data > (DataBindings) > NavigateUrl > Binding and set that to my DynURL calculated field.
For the static hyperlink:
- This is just a label with a static email address that resides in a group footer at the bottom of the report. In the label properties, I navigated to Navigation > NavigateUrl and set that to my email address 'mailto:user@domain.com' and set the Target to _blank.
Previewing the report in TDP:
- Both dynamic and static hyperlinks function as desired.
Exporting report to HTML format.
- When opening report in browser, both dynamic and static hyperlinks function as desired.
Automation:
- Database Activities > Toad Report > Export report file as HTML
- System Activities > Send Email > Activity Input > Use file for body: - Here is where I'll select the HTML file from Toad Report export just performed.
- Test run and automation successfully completes and I receive an email with the HTML report file embedded.
When I go to test the hyperlinks in the email:
- The dynamic hyperlinks are dead, meaning click with no action, but the mouse icon still changes as if it recognizes them as hyperlinks.
- The static email hyperlink works as desired.
The dynamic hyperlink functionality essentially fails when an HTML report is embedded in email. Am I missing something or is there a possible remedy for my issue?
Some add'l info:
- Using TDP v 3.6.0.3276
- Email distribution through Exchange platform & SMTP
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
