Hello -

I have an email that goes out if a record is added to a table. A notification then goes out alerting the user of this new record and displaying some of the fields in the content. This record is a child record, and the user will never need to go to this individual record...I need a link direct the user to the related record in the parent table. The only option in the Markers link to the child record or the application.

Is there a way to insert a link to the related record in a table-to-table relationship?

Thanks in advance,

You can make your own hyperlink field using a formula Rich Text field type.

var text URL = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID of the parent table] & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Related Parent];
var text Words = "Click here to go to the Parent Record";

"<a href=" & $URL & ">" & $Words & "</a>"

If you write the hyperlinks in this format,  the part in bold is always the same.
