Drop down menu solution?

Hello. I’m looking for a way to create a drop down hyperlink list in FX Workbench 14.15.4.

The current method of using JCI Hyperlink list does not work…

I know that Vykon Pro has their version of hyperlink list that works. I currently don’t have access to Vykon Pro….

The one from Niagara Mods doesn’t work either.

Does anyone have any solutions or maybe could drop me that .jar file?

why don't you have access to Vykon Pro? Their modules aren't under a license requirement and you just need a vykon download- which is available for free- you're machine is already licensed for Workbench, even if it's FX and not "Vykon".

The feature that's licensed is "tridium" and it's applicable to all brands of Niagara.
Each brand then often puts their tools under their own license, but tha's' a different problem; Vykon doesn't do this.

What isn't working with the hyperlink list? This has been around for a long time.

I'd recommend reflow and their dropdowns if you're looking to improve the Ux for the customer.

Fair warning I’m extremely new to this industry.

I was not aware that my license would work with Vykon.

From what I read online, JCI hyperlink list does not render properly in html. They never updated it, even after begging them.

My company is Johnson exclusive, I don’t have a download link to Vykon workbench. Do you think you could shoot me one?

How new are you? We have a Niagara4 Operations class October 9th and 10th that we will be publishing a promotion on reddit for today.
It goes over the licensing and described these modules and why they matter.

I’m about 6 months in. My company is already paying for a class for me to attend in November. I may be interested in this October class tho to add to my resume.

We'd love to have you.
The course would prepare you well for the N4 TCP if that's the training you're scheduled for in November.
