Use this drop-down to specify the window in which linked items should be displayed. The available options are:
•New
•Same
•Same no frame
When this property is enabled and the user clicks on document library item in the Grid Display, the user will be brought directly to the document. When the checkbox is left blank, the link will take the user to the edit page for the library item.
Select this option to have the Grid Display generate the links to each record in the display based on the domain name in the current user’s browser. This option is disabled by default.
This option does not affect the items returned by the Grid Display, only what happens when the user clicks on a link within the display. When this option is enabled and a user clicks on a link, it looks at the URL that the Grid Display is configured to reference. Then it generates the links to each record based on the domain name in the current user’s browser. It does not map the full URL, only the domain name.
As an example, say you have a site at sample.company.net, and you have multiple users who can access that site, but only by way of their unique URLs. When John Smith accesses a browser and types jsmith.company.net, he is brought to sample.company.net. When Diane Brown types dbrown.company.net, she is also brought to sample.company.net. However, when John configures a Grid Display to point to jsmith.company.net, Diane can see the resulting display, but cannot successfully click on any of the links in the display; she does not have access to the site via jsmith.company.net and an error page is displayed when she attempts to click on a link. If John were to enable the “Modify item links for URL masking” option, Diane would be able to access the links. The domain name is pulled from Diane’s browser address bar and the URL for the link is modified to http://dbrown.company.net/operations/team1. It does not do anything with the “http://” or “/operations/team1” portion of the URL.
This property applies only to URL columns. When it is selected, if a column contains a URL it is displayed simply as text; it is not “clickable.”
