Using URLs in a field

You can open a valid URL that appears in a field. FileMaker Pro Advanced 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 Advanced 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.
