Using URLs in a field
You can open a valid URL that appears in a field. FileMaker Pro opens the URL with the default application configured on your computer for the URL type. For example, http URLs will open in your default web browser.
To open a URL from a field:
- Click the field to select it, and select the entire URL.
- Right-click any part of the URL.
- Choose Open <URL> from the shortcut menu.
FileMaker Pro supports the fmp: protocol and the following URL schemes:
- https://
- mailto:
- ldap://
- ldaps://
- ftp://
- http://
- gopher://
- shttp://
- file://
- mailto://
- news://
- nntp://
- telnet://
Tip You can also hold down the Alt key (Windows) or the Command key (macOS) while clicking any part of the URL text to open the URL.
