# Format a field as a hyperlink in the data grid

You can configure a field in Fullcast as a hyperlink that redirects users from a record in a Fullcast data grid to an external web page, such as a record in Salesforce. The only requirement is a stable URL structure where the value from the Fullcast field can be inserted to create a valid link.

For example:

- Linking an **Account ID** in a territory plan to its corresponding account page in the CRM.
- Linking a **User ID** in a team plan to the user's profile page in the CRM.

## Format a field as a hyperlink

1. Go to **Settings** > **Entities & Fields**.
2. Select the entity that contains the field you want to link.
3. Find the desired field and click **edit.**
4. In the **Edit Field** window, click the **Basic Information** tab.
5. In the **Format** field, type the following: `URL("https://yourURL")` (replace `your URL` with the URL you are linking to). For the portion of the URL that corresponds to the value in your Fullcast field, type `{value}`.

**Example:** If you're linking an Account ID field to Salesforce, your input might look like this: `URL("https://yourcompany.lightning.force.com/lightning/r/Account/{value}/view")`. The `{value}` will be dynamically replaced with the Account ID from your Fullcast field.

7. At the top of the **Entities & Fields** page, click **Save**.
