The hyperlink effect is enabled through the presentation layer ie you need to put the http address in the appropriate HTML tags. And that will be something like this:

<a href='http://www.onestream.com'>OneStream website</a>

 I haven't tried it in the SQL Table editor so I don't know if it will translate the HTML commands correctly.

Hi Marcus,

I did try that but its the  SQL table editor that does not show it as a hyperlink. I am about to put a ticket to see what OS has to say.

 

Thank You,

No it did not work. Recommendation from OS is to create a button. So when the row is selected then click this button outside the Dashboard and that will take you to the url.

Really cumbersome.
