Hi,

In the Description Editor -> Go to -> Change Editor.

In the Line editor, select the line type as '/*'.

Line type : /*

Line Text : <x HREF=&URL&>CLICK HERE</x>

I have used X instead of A.

Thanks,

Viji.

In send email step you have the option to go to task text. Once you reach there it is more or less like a Sap script inserting hyperlink.

Hi Viji,

Thank you for the reply.

i've used like this

Line type = /* and text as <X HREF = &CLICKHERE&> Click here </X>

I've defined a constant &clickhere& in the container by keeping the link value in initial data.

When i execute the workflow the email is generated as below

<X HREF = link > Click here </X>.But i need to display like Click here and on click of this the link should open.

Used X in place of A.

Could you please advice.

Regards

Keerthi

Try to find command in HTML to underline the text.

Hi Keerthi,

Sorry, My suggestion was only for Task description. Not in the send mail step.

Unfortunately Send mail step is not comfortable with HTML Tags. For your requirement you can use the URL directly or you have to use the FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.

In the Function module some where you can set the format as 'HTM' and then you can use can pass the HTML code to this FM.

Thanks.

Hi ,

I achieved the URL link in SBWP using <a> anchor tag in task description as

Note : replace 'X' by a

LINK1 is a container element which has the iniital value as http://www.google.co.in/

In SOST the link appears as test and when i click on it , it directly opens the google window.

But the same is not appearing in the Outlook mail.I have seen some of the existng forums but could not find the answer

for this.If anyone has resolved this issue please share.

Regards

Keerthi.

Hi Keerthi,

In the Outlook you have to set the mail format as HTML.

Also you can check the below threads.

Thanks.
