The following steps explain how to create an icon with a personalized social media link, based on a URL in Active Directory.
If there is no personalized social media link in AD, it will default to a company URL, specified in step 2 below.
Step 1 - Look up the AD field
Create the field that will look up the corresponding field in Active Directory
Step 2 - Create a Formula field
Create the formula field which will create the URL string:
(in this example we've called it fb_conditional)
Step 3 - Create an Image field
Create an image field based on an image in the image library, so that if your image ever changes, your signatures using this field will be automatically updated.
Step 4 - Adding to signature
1. Click on the Signature page
2. Hover over your cursor over the relevant signature > Click the Edit button
3. On the RHS panel to the right of the signature configuration, click on the Fields tab > Add the field by simply dragging and dropping into the signature onfiguration
4. Click on the HTML Configuration
5. The HTML code should look either something like:
- <div href="(!fb_conditions!)" style="font-weight:normal;white-space:nowrap;"> (!IMG_Facebook!)</div>
- <a href="(!fb_conditional!)">(!IMG_Facebook!)</a>
6. Click Save & Close to save the changes made
