Options

The Options tab settings for this element are described below:

HRef

Sets the destination URL for the hyperlink. The URL can be external to other websites or internal to other pages of your app.

Using Page Flow, you can define custom actions instead of just navigating to the URL.

Target

Choose whether you want to open the URL in a new tab/page or in the same page.

Link Action

This is an advanced parameter that translates to the Bootstrap data-toggle attribute. The Popup Menu Style1, Popup Menu Style2 and Menubar Popup Menu elements use this by setting the value to dropdown. You can also use this to control a Collapsible Area element by setting the value to collapse.

Action Target

This is an advanced parameter that translates to the Bootstrap data-target attribute. The value is set to the Element ID of the element to be controlled. To find the Element ID see here.

The Element ID needs to be prefixed with a # character. This is also known as ID selector syntax. For more information click here.
