Can hyperlinks be added to audit rule messages?

[nmorris]

We have a message on an audit rule that tells our employees where to remit payment for personal transactions that need to be reimbursed to the company. Currently we only accept check or money orders, but we are in the process of setting up an electronic payment option for employees to use as well. I would like to add a hyperlink to the audit message so that they can just click on it to send payment, but has anyone tried this? Does the hyperlink work?

@nmorris I asked a colleague about this. I'll just copy and paste what he said for you. There are two parts to his reply. You can then decide from there. 

it appears that you can but they only work on certain circumstances and you have to do a full html reference and counts against the character limit of the exception message.

a link to google would look something like this:  <a href="https://www.google.com/">Launch Google</a>

they only work on entry level exceptions and you can only follow them if you click the Exception icon on the entry. Report level exceptions do not work and the links do not appear in the exception summary on the top of the screen.

This applies to our Next Generation User Interface, which I'm not sure if you are on. 🙂

Thanks Kevin! We are not currently on the Next Generation User Interface yet, but I will keep this in mind when we transition over.
