I have an Excel spreadsheet in my Reader. I am using AttributeManager to change field names. I am writing to an ESRI Geodatabase.

 

FieldX has values of Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3. What is the best way to add a hyperlink to this field? so that values look like Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 and when clicked the link opens. The hyperlink is the same URL for all the values.

 

I am able to add the hyperlink URL to FieldX in AttributeManager, but the result is it shows the actual URL, not the linked value (Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3) in the field.

I don't think geodatabases have a hyperlink datatype, it's up to the front end (GUI) to supply this functionality. Depending on your use case, perhaps you need to insert an html href tag? For example:

<a href="https://my.host.name.example/target/url">Type 1</a>

 If the client is ArcGIS Pro, you may want to look here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/tables/table-options.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_03345F11FAE041EDB71A4B22DB492B6A
