Beschreibung

Custom links and buttons always open the target content within a new window. The HYPERLINK function can now accept an optional third parameter to control where content is opened. You can do this by creating a custom text-based formula field that leverages the HYPERLINK function to perform the requested functionality.

Parameters for opening links and buttons in Salesforce

To control where a custom link or button opens its target content, use the HYPERLINK formula function with the optional third parameter. For example, a Sales Rep using Salesforce Classic may want to open an internal tool in the same browser tab to avoid disruption.

The HYPERLINK takes the following parameters: HYPERLINK(url, friendly_name [, target]). Available options for the third parameter are:

  • _blank - Opens in a new window.
  • _self - Opens in the same frame as it was clicked.
  • _parent - Opens in the parent frameset.
  • _top - Opens in the full body of the window.


Example HYPERLINK: 

HYPERLINK("http://www.yahoo.com","Yahoo!","_top" )
