I was trying with the function Launch(thisitem.access route) and didn't work

Thanks in advance!

Yes, the Launch function is what you want. That will bring up the document in a new tab.

What issues are you having with the launch?

Since you are referencing ThisItem - then I assume this is all in a Gallery!?

If so, then what datasource is the Items property of the gallery based on?

What is CompleteAccessRoute in the datasource?

@Jose_LuisA So you are using a DocumentLibrary? A SharePoint Record should have a property named something like "Link to Element". Thats the property you want to use.

Launch(ThisItem.'Link to Element')

(Could be that the proeprty is called differntly in english....but should start with Link to....)

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.
