Hyperlink challenge in Advanced Print View email template called from script

[jdow]

What I'm trying to do is to send out an formatted email upon a workflow transition that has a hyperlink in it.  My script to send the email is calling an Advanced Print View (APV) that I've created that is a email template that I call from the script.  The script calling the APV works fine.  What doesn't work is the hyperlink within the APV.  

The hyperlink I want to display is the URL to a PLM record in the email, thus the dmsID of the record must be a variable and inserted into the href string. This is where the problems begin...  Now in my records I store the dmsID in a field for each record.  In my APV html code I try and call that field and retrieve its value, but once I enter the code into the editor and press the update button it reformats and removes a portion of the code and when i try to run it it errors with the mystery man.

Below are a few screen shots of my code...this shows what I started with and what I thought would work...

This image shows the reformatting i get when saving the #3 set of code above...

The next two images show #1 above and #2 above the results...

Now the above result is what I want, but remember this using using code that hardcodes the dmsid value and this value needs to be a variable.

Is this possible?  If so, how might I go about doing this?

I hope this all makes sense.

Thank you,

John

I think you are trying to generate the link in the Advanced Preview...

Instead, try adding the link after loading the APV.

var plmtenant = "https://mytenant.autodeskplm360.net";

var tenant = plmtenant+"/workspace#workspaceid="+wsId+"&dmsid="+itemDmsid+"&tab=";

var tab = "itemdetails";

....

email.body = getPrintView(avp);

email.body += '<br><br><a href="'+tenant+tab+'">View Items details for '+subject+'</a></br></br>';

....

Does that work?

Thanks,

Tony

Yes Tony, that does work!  Thank you!

However, aesthetically its a bit ugly (I know I can format the text).  I really want to know if the hyperlink can be done like this within the APV template that I'm calling?  Is it possible?  See image below...

Thanks again!
