This article covers how to add a Web Link field, choose its link, and configure its settings. ## How the Web Link field works A Web Link field gives users quick access to reference content while they fill in the form. For example, it can show a safety manual, an installation video, or a product image. You choose where the link comes from: - Static: You enter 1 URL, and every user sees the same page - Dynamic: The URL comes from another field in the form, so it can change with the user's answers. For example, a Lookup List can fill in a product image URL for the product the user selects You can show the page inside the form or open it in a new window in the app. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/weblink-05-preview-example.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-30T00%3A37%3A03Z&se=2026-10-30T01%3A37%3A03Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=p%2BgC3gGnyH6D4lGDs4IE7avDVHIqH1s7QNAjJvPIqJg%3D) ## Add a Web Link field 1.
