This example shows how to create a custom hyperlink based of field values from a feature
This is designed specifically for the popup profile. Many datasets have corresponding data that lives outside their GIS accessible via the web (pdf reports, images etc.). Those urls are often structured and can be built dynamically from existing fields. By using arcade to construct the url, it means that as the data changes the link stays up to date.
Copy and paste the expression found in the expression template below to the Arcade editor in ArcGIS Online, the relevant location in ArcGIS Pro, or the relevant location in a custom app.
To configure the script to your layer, you must replace the field variables with your own, and adjust the url format to match your website. In the example below a field is used to construct part of the url path as well as the filename for a pdf. Following this pattern, you can build more complicated urls by more fields as required.
"Your Base URL" +
Left($feature.field_name_1, 3) + "/" + $feature.field_name_1 + ".pdf"With something like the following:
"https://www.ontario.ca/sites/default/files/moe_mapping/downloads/2Water/Wells_pdfs/" +
Left($feature.WELL_ID, 3) + "/" + $feature.WELL_ID + ".pdf""Your Base URL" +
$feature.field_name_1 + "/" + $feature.field_name_2 + ".pdf"See this web map for examples of how to use this expression in ArcGIS Online. Note not all wells have a pdf log.
