Hi,
Can someone please advise how to add a hyperlink to the column fields in a table?

E.g.
How can I make NewField value a hyperlink to Field1 values (e.g. ID01 and ID02 ) in the table below instead of separate field?

Table:
Field1 NewField
ID01 http://company.test.com/page-ID01
ID02 http://company.test.com/page-ID02`

<panel>
      <title>Report Title</title>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>index=xxx
          | fields Field1, Field2, ...
          | eval NewField = "hyperlinkhttp://company.test.com/page-".Field1
          | table Field1, NewField]   
           <earliest>$datefield.earliest$</earliest>
          <latest>$datefield.latest$</latest>
          <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
        </search>
      </table>
    </panel>
</row>`

@d867748, Another alternative would be to use SimpleXML table configuration <fields> to hide NewField from the table (list only the fields that should be displayed) and still use the same for drilldown using $row.NewField$. You should check out Splunk Dashboard Examples app from Splunkbase for various drilldown examples including this one.

  <row>
     <panel>
       <title>Report Title</title>
       <table>
         <search>
           <query>| makeresults
           | eval Field1="ID01"
           | eval NewField = "http://www.company.test.com/page-".Field1
           | table Field1, NewField</query>
            <earliest>-1s</earliest>
           <latest>now</latest>
           <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
         </search>
         <fields>["Field1"]</fields>
         <drilldown>
           <link target="_blank">$row.NewField|n$</link>
         </drilldown>
       </table>
     </panel>
  </row>

Store your URL in a field starting with an underscore, e.g. _url, use a drilldown on column Field1 and <link> to $row._url$.

See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.6/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML#drilldown for docs on drilldowns, conditional drilldowns working only on specific columns are right below that.
