What's New - Hyperlink and Slider Form Controls
DriveWorks 8 introduces some new form controls that will greatly enhance the user experience. These are:
- Hyperlink
- Slider
Hyperlink
The Hyperlink control allows hypertext to be displayed on the user form that links to a URL of a document or web page.
The
hyperlink control will always open a new tab or browser session
when clicked.
The hyperlink and text can be dynamically driven by rules.
