I'm trying to figure out how to add a mailto: link to the email field of my adg. I've tried various renditions of:display: "Email",
name: "<a href="<%=(rs_residents.Fields.Item("txtemail"
.Value)%>"txtemail"",width: 150,
sortable: true,
align: "left",
hide: false
but nothing works. I see nothing in the datagrid page that looks relevant either. Can you tell me if this is possible?
thank you.

Hello Sally,
You need to use "before" and "after" fields for the mail column in Content tab. Do following:
1. Open ADG UI and go to Content tab.
2. Select the column that will contain the e-mails.
3. In "before" field type:
4. In "after" field type:
where {name_of_the_column} is the actual name of the coulmn that contains the e-mails.
This will produce following output:
If you want to change the text that will appear as a link change the {name_of_the_column} with whatever text you like:
maybe something like 'CONTACT' or 'Send Mail' or whatever.
Regards,
