Adding and viewing data > Entering data in records > 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:

1. Click the field to select it, and select the entire URL.

2. Right-click any part of the URL.

3. 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.
