Hi,

Does anybody have experience using a button to navigate to an external report or site? Were you able to just copy and paste the URL into the Navigation field? Or did it require some extra coding? 

Thanks,

We created an HTML box with link for the external site on our report

Were you able to open the link in a new tab? I'm having some issues with 

target="_blank"

Thanks @Hee Sung Kang.

Do you or anybody knows if we able to use the standard Button in Apptio in this case as well by updating the properties?

Properties:

We have a button with HTML for a link to our external service catalog reference.

Below is the HTML for the above box

@Menno Wittebol, We are not using the standard button for this, I'm not sure if we have done that before, might be something to test out in the sandbox/test environment

Confirming that this can definitely be done.

We have some hyperlinks in our projects that link out to SharePoint and some of our other web tools - including a User Guide that opens in a PowerPoint Online deck. Since Apptio is a starting point for some of our users, I figured it would be useful for them to have quick links to other related and frequently used tools.

I also think that having the links open in new tabs via the HTML component is a good way to go - Hee’s response details this quite nicely!

Have you done this via the standard button or html object?

I've used the HTML Object for this because it allows for more formatting/layout options in case we want to make it look fancier. At the moment, the hyperlink plainly looks like this:
