How to add a Link to a Form

Navigate to the Form Designer

Select the form you wish to add the link to.

Design the form.

Add a new field.

Select "Label" as the field type.

At this step, you’ll click on the field name where you want to insert the link. This is where you’ll paste the code provided below. The code structure will be as follows: `• The first part of the code, within the first parentheses, is where you’ll enter the link (the URL) that you want the user to be navigated to.` `• The text that appears between the greater-than sign and the less-than sign is the text that will be displayed on the form for the user to click on.` For example, if you want to link to the Helios website, the code will look like this: <a href='<https://heliosed.com/>'>THIS IS THE DISPLAYED TEXT</a> In this example: `• <https://www.heliosed.com> is the link the user will be directed to when they click.` `• THIS IS THE DISPLAYED TEXT is the text displayed to the user that they will click.` Important: Make sure there are no spaces or extra characters in the code when entering it. The link should be placed correctly in the first part, and the display text should be clear and concise for users. I recommend copying this sample code and pasting it into a word document to make the desired changes to it.

Paste in the modified code.

Add and close the field.

Drag the field to it's desired location.

Save the changes.

Preview the form.

Test the link by clicking it in the preview.

If completed correct, you should be navigated to the desired link.
