How to specify the behavior or clickable links in data
There is a system-wide setting which determines what happens when a user clicks on a link within the data. When your data includes URLs, they display as clickable links in ThoughtSpot tables. By default, clicking on a link opens the URL in a separate tab. But there is a system-wide setting that can be changed to open the links within the context in which they appear.
Changing this setting opens the links:
| Link type | Opens in |
| Link in search result table in ThoughtSpot | Same browser tab as ThoughtSpot application |
| Link in table embedded in an iFrame | Same iFrame that contains the table |
| Link in full ThoughtSpot application embedded in an iFrame | Same iFrame that contains the application |
