I came across a PeopleSoft posting written by Rob’s PeopleSoft Blog and could not help but to post it on my blog. It is such a neat trick and I’m sure will come handy in many occasions.

How often do you see your users running queries and then writing down values that are returned by the query so that they can then navigate to the appropriate page and view the underlying details of those vouchers, journals, vendors, etc.? Wouldn’t it be nice if they could just click on a hyperlink embedded within the query results and have the page pop up in a separate browser window instead?

I attended a session at Oracle OpenWorld at which a consultant demonstrated how hyperlinks can be used in PS Query to drill down to individual values that are returned by a query. There wasn’t a lot of detail given on how to do this, but once I got home I decided to give it a shot, and within an hour I had it working. This is one of the coolest features I’ve ever seen in PS Query, and I’m sure your users will love it.
