Scenario

You want to create a vCard or Bio Link using a field from the Active Directory, but, you want the field to be hidden if it is not populated.

Resolution

To create a vCard or Bio Link using a field from the Active Directory and to hide the field if it is not populated, you'll need to use conditional fields.

As an example, the following procedure describes the steps for an {Office} field. You can follow the same procedure for any other field (in the Active Directory):

1. In the Conditional Field window, select the required field then click on the ellipsis button for further options.
   
   
   
   
2. The Expandible Field Editor window is displayed. 
   
   To create a link, select the Custom Hyperlink option.
   
   
   
   The Hyperlink window is displayed. 
   
   
3. From the Address drop-down, select the required field:
   
   
   
   
4. In Text to display, enter the text for the selected field:
   
   
   
   
5. Click OK to save the changes made and close the window.
   
   
6. From the Expandable Field Editor window, you can edit the properties of the required field (such as font, style, size, colour).
   
   
   Notes: 
   If you apply styles from within the Expandable Field Editor window then you can customise the colour of the hyperlinks (rather than having the default blue for hyperlinks). 
   
   However, if you apply the styles from within the Template Editor then the colour of the hyperlinks will be the default blue.
   
   
   
   
7. Click OK on each window to get back to the Template Editor. You will then see that the conditional hyperlink has been successfully created.
