Correct way to use an App column type?

What is the correct way to use an App column type to link to a form? I have an App column type in one app that is linking to a form in another app. I’m using this equation as an app equation:

LINKTOFORM(“Delta/Alpha Checklist”, “PM quoting”)

In the app it shows like this rather than a link to be clicked:

PM%20quoting#control=Delta%2FAlpha%20Checklist&defaults=%7B%7D

Is it supposed to show as a link to be clicked?

I was hoping use a column type rather than an action as I want the number of “links” to appear dependent on other info in the form the column is part of.

Thanks!

The App column type is really just a way to store pre-computed app links for use in actions (and elsewhere); columns of type App are really not suitable for use as clickable links directly.

To accomplish what you want, I would imagine you’d have a non-Editable? column of type Text that would contain the text of the link. Then create a navigation action (App: go to …), with the Display inline prominence, attached to that column. Unfortunately, the approach is cumbersome. You can conditionally show or hide the column using the column’s Show? expression.

Thanks Steve, what should the format of the look look like? And where would I put it?

Thanks,

Justin
