Set up hyperlink animation

Use the
Hyperlink
option on the
Animation
menu to specify a link for an object. When the object is clicked at runtime or Test Display mode, the linked destination opens. The destination can be a file like PDF, a webpage, or a program. All graphic objects supporting the touch animation, except the numeric input and string input objects, support the hyperlink animation.
TIP:
To open a local web resource in
FactoryTalk ViewPoint
, you need to add a virtual directory in IIS Manager. See Configure IIS Manager for hyperlink animation.
