I have a dashboard with a field called %field1%
I would like to generate a simple hyperlink the user can click on to open a new tab to our ticketing system.
I need to append the value of the token to the end of a static URL. Then display that value as an active link somewhere in the dashboard for the user to click and open the ticketing system.
For example:
If I enter FooBar in the field
The link would be:
hxxps://ticketing.system.com/textsearch.do?sysparm_search=FooBar
Thanks in advance for any help. I will continue reading and update the question myself if I find a working solution. This seems too simple not to be possible.

That depends on what type of field it is. Can you share your dashboard code. In most cases. a token value can be reference by $tokenname$. So in your example, it could be as simple as
<link>hxxps://ticketing.system.com/textsearch.do?sysparm_search=$tokenname$</link>

This put me on the right track. The field is a text input for a hostname.
I have posted the correct answer below.
<row>
<html> <a href="https://ticketing.system.com/textsearch.do?sysparm_search=$field1$">Search for Tickets</a> </html>
</row>
