How to reference another page in the portal within a dataverse list?

Posted on by jakesh

Hello Community.

Is it possible to add a page in a dataverse list where the user would click and would redirect them to a secured page I created under "Other Pages" in the portal, instead of using a URL?

Thanks so much.

Hi @jakesh

It is the same approach as your other question. Place your javascript and add the other pages URL in the value statement.

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Portals/Entity-list-replace-ahref-text-to-display-icon/m-p/959544#M7751

Please have a look at the output section. All I was doing there was displaying a mobile icon and allowing user to redirect to other pages in Portal.

Hope it makes sense.

Hope it helps.

Hi @OliverRodrigues . Yes, this would be an internal page under "Other Pages".

The requirement is to display a list of Power BI report names in a page so that users can click on the report name or icon, and it will redirect the user to a hidden "internal" portal page where the Power BI report/dashboard is embedded (via html liquid tag). The Power BI embedding page is on the "Other Pages" section where Access Denied and Page Not Found reside.

Here's an example:
As a user I will navigate to the Organization page where I can find a list of Power BI report names. From there I can click on the report name and it will redirect me to a Power BI Report page where the report is embedded.

Hi @ragavanrajan .

Does this code resolve just for one URL? The page will have dozens of URLs referencing multiple internal pages in Other Pages.

Here's the code:

$(document).ready(function () { console.log(555, "console loading"); $(".entitylist.entity-grid").on("loaded", function () { $(this).children(".view-grid").find("td[data-attribute='crb3e_powerbiurl']").each(function (i, e){ console.log(222, "name of column loading"); var value = $(this).data(value); console.log("666value Var", value); if(value.value == "https://basictemplate.powerappsportals.com/payors/") { console.log(444, "condition triggering"); var downloadElement=""; downloadElement += "<a href='"+this.innerText+"'>"; downloadElement += "<button type='button' class='btn btn-default btn-lg'>"; downloadElement += "<span class='glyphicon glyphicon-phone' aria-hidden='true'/>"; downloadElement += "</button>"; downloadElement += " </a>"; $(this).html(downloadElement); } else{ $(this).closest('tr').css("background-color", "#ffffff"); } }); }); });

@jakesh would this solution solve your problem?:

Have the Power BI report name in your custom table (no need for the URL I think)

on your list, just add a link to either a details page

you can either load a Basic Form (and hide fields via JS) or load a blank page and retrieve the record data via Liquid or Web API

as you have the Power BI report name as part of your record, you can simply load it using Liquid based on the data of your record

does this make sense?

Hi @OliverRodrigues . I am not sure I understand, and thank you for your thoughts and time.

I have the name of the Power BI report in the list in a column.
on your list, just add a link to either a details page
Do you mean a URL link, or what other type of link? I added the URL link into another column that references a page under "Other Pages" where the Power BI report is embedded. It doesn't look pretty to show the full hyperlink. This is what I am trying to resolve, to embed this hyperlink into an icon or into the Power BI report name.

What is the purpose of this solution? How does this link back to the list?

What is the purpose of this solution? How does this link back to the list?
In an Excel cell, you can embed a hyperlink into a text field. If I click on this underlined name, it will redirect me to a web page. This is what I am trying to achieve, rather than displaying the URL. I don't know why Power Apps/Pages/Dataverse makes this so hard. You would think it is something rudimentary.

The out of the box List does not render a URL. The work arounds to this are to either parse the List (JavaScript as per Jakesh post above), or create your own list using Liquid in a custom Web Template (or technically can also be in a Web Page - but not good practice).

Thank you @Fubar .
@Fubar or @ragavanrajan I am not a JS developer. Could you help me on what exactly I need to replace in the code with my values to make it work? An icon would work well for me. It would be like a button the user can click on to get redirected to the Power BI embedded page.

Greatly appreciate everyone's help in this thread.

@OliverRodrigues @ragavanrajan
I was able to get the code you guys provided to work for my goal! Thank you for your time and solutions. I had some help to debug the issue I was running into, and figured out I needed to remove the conditional statement referencing "value == URL" so that all the URLs got replaced with an icon or button of some sort. I also replaced data attribute to reference my column's logical name in dataverse.

$(document).ready(function () { console.log(555, "console loading"); $(".entitylist.entity-grid").on("loaded", function () { $(this).children(".view-grid").find("td[data-attribute='columnlogicalname']").each(function (i, e){ console.log(222, "name of column loading"); var value = $(this).data(value); console.log("666value Var", value); var downloadElement=""; downloadElement += "<a href='"+this.innerText+"'>"; downloadElement += "<button type='button' class='btn btn-default btn-lg'>"; downloadElement += "<span class='glyphicon glyphicon-plus' aria-hidden='true'/>"; downloadElement += "</button>"; downloadElement += " </a>"; $(this).html(downloadElement); // } // else{ // $(this).closest('tr').css("background-color", "#ffffff"); // } }); }); });
