You can use the Pick Action Wizard to configure a hyperlink action for a Mimic object. This will allow the object to act as a ‘trigger’ - when selected, it will cause another display, in this case, a webpage, to be shown.
We strongly recommend that you only link to and open external webpages that are from trusted sources to help prevent potential security risks that are associated with accessing external content.
When using the Pick Action Wizard to configure a hyperlink to a webpage, you need to choose Hyperlink as the type of pick action and then define:
- URL—The full address of the webpage that is to be the ‘target’ display. Ensure that the webpage that you connect to is a trusted site. The site should be limited to a specific purpose and should not allow further navigation to other untrusted sites.
- Open in ViewX—Choose whether the webpage will be displayed in a ViewX window or in an external web browser (if the check box is selected, the webpage is displayed in ViewX).
- Mode—Use to define the window settings (only applies if the webpage is to be displayed in ViewX).
