Configuring the Execute Hyperlink command

In Task Assistant Manager, you can associate ArcMap commands with a step in the workflow. The Task Manager Utilities category in the Command Item Editor contains commands that may be useful during workflow creation. Commands are associated with specific workflow steps and allow a specific function to occur when you run that step in the task assistant workflow.

The Execute Hyperlink command opens a hyperlink when a user executes a step in the task assistant workflow. The hyperlink can be a Web address, path to an FTP site, path to a specified file, or a network directory.

  1. Start ArcMap.
  2. If necessary, click the Task Assistant button Task Assistant on the Task Manager toolbar to display the Task Assistant window.
