    Hi Joe,

    If you want to automatically convert URLs to hyperlinks:
    – Open the Data Explorer
    – Find your table
    – Click Manage > Column Settings
    – Select hyperlink as the column type
    – Save your column settings

    Since you have stored the full URL in this column:
    – Open the Data Explorer
    – Find your table
    – Click Manage > Table Settings
    – Select plain text for process hyperlink columns as
    – Save your table settings

    The second step is necessary to let the plugin handle the URL column values as plain text. You can also store URLs in JSON format to add additional attributes which won’t work in your case as the URLs are already stored as plain text.

    Hope this helps. Let me know if it does not work…

    Best regards,
    Peter
