Details View, Connected field value links to connected record

Hello. I’m pretty new to Knack but I feel like I have a pretty good handle on the main feature set. That said I’m struggling to find an elegant way to accomplish a particular goal.

I am building a fairly basic project management app that essentially carries through a deal being finalized.

In my main Project view I have a Details view with fields from the ‘Project’ table. Some of those fields are connected fields. In particular: Client, Designer, Architect, Structural Engineer, Civil Engineer, Builder, (a table for each category. I have been trying to find a way to simply make the value a hyperlink that goes to the connected record’s details view.

The use case for this is that I want to have those names listed for reference but be able to click on them and get their contact info if needed. But I don’t need that info cluttering up the main view.

I know I can do something like this in a Grid view but I really don’t like the presentation of grid view for this UI. See the attached screenshot. I have just started looking into KTL to see if that might contain the solution that I’m looking for or maybe I need a bit of custom JS? I’m no coder but I can certainly ADHD my way into reading and implementing snippets of code here and there. Just need to get pointed in the correct direction.

Hi Nathan

In the Builder left click those field titles and edit them and set the Connection Link.

Good luck.

Hey Dean,

Thanks for responding so quickly. I had seen that on some fields but not with this field. But I don’t seem to have that option.

Also here are the settings for that field.

OH! I just realized that I don’t have a Client Details Scene/Page created anywhere. I’m guessing this might be an issue right?

Well. That was it. I feel like a dummy.
