Defines a conditional hyperlink. The hyperlink will only be displayed for alarms matching the specified filter.

HyperLink

Remarks

For example, to create a hyperlink that is only available on alarms that have a property called "PropName" of which the value is "PropValue", add the following hyperlink tag to Hyperlinks.xml:

<HyperLink id="20" version="2" name="RootTime_v2" type="url" menu="/root" filterElement="(AlarmEventMessage.PropertiesDict.PropName[String] =='PropValue')"> [DMAID]</HyperLink>

To test a filter that you want to specify for a conditional hyperlink, you can use the SLNetClientTest tool. See Checking a hyperlink filter.

This attribute supports alarm properties containing a space, but these need to be contained in double quotes (or " in XML), for example:

filterElement="(AlarmEventMessage.PropertiesDict."Property Name"[String] == 'PropValue')"

You can also use a filter that checks whether a specific key exists. For example:

<HyperLink id="1" version="2" name="Issue_ID blank" type="script" alarmColumn="true"
 menu="root/JIRA" combineParameters="true"
 filterElement="(AlarmEventMessage.PropertiesDict.KeyExists:Issue_ID[Bool] == False) OR (AlarmEventMessage.PropertiesDict.Issue_ID[String]=='')">
  Script:dummy script||||Tooltips|NoConfirmation,CloseWhenFinished
</HyperLink>

Note

The KeyExists filter is not recommended for data retrieval from Cassandra or an indexing database, as the filter will only be applied after data is retrieved from these databases.
