Displaying URL (in work item description) as Hyperlink in UWL

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have setup and configured the UWL for enterprise portal and it is able to display work items under "task" tab.

However, some work flows descriptions contain URL. I would like these to display as a hyperlink. (i.e. clicking on the URL opens a browser window which takes the user to the specified URL address) Currently the UWL displays these URL in plain text.

I have tried adding the following HTML tags: <a href="http://www.abc.com"> http://www.abc.com </a> to denote the URL as a hyperlink. The URL was correctly represented as a hyperlink on SAP inbox (transaction code SBWP). However, when the same work item is accessed via UWL, the HTML tags ended up being incorrectly displayed as plain text.

Please kindly advise if any configuration can be done to the UWL such that it will correctly recognize and display the URL as a hyperlink. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Use link attachment or add button action to UWL as possible workaround. It appears that work item text can only be displayed as-is.
