Using Hyperlink Data Items

When an information map for relational data is created, your data administrator can indicate that a given category data item contains HTML string values that define hyperlinks. An example of a database value associated with a hyperlink data item might be the following: <aref=http:/abc.com/sas.html>SAS Institute</a>. This example is an HTML string that indicates the item should appear online as SAS Institute and it should be underlined to indicate that it is a hyperlink to an HTML document.

When you click the underlined hyperlink item, the action specified by the HTML is performed. In most cases, the browser opens a Web page.
Although SAS Web Report Studio lets you place hyperlink data items into a graph, in most cases, it does not make sense to do so. The hyperlink data item is mainly intended for use in relational tables.
