# Collect: Add hyperlinks to variable description

Asked by wexxo on 2018-08-27

Dear support team,

in order to let field teams quickly understand what a variable (and/or code list) is about, we would like to add hyperlinks to the description of the variables (in Collect Mobile) that lead to a chapter of the Field Manual as pdf file (or other format), also installed on the tablet.

Is this possible?

Thank you!!

Alex

Dear Alex,  
This feature is quite difficult to implement (connect Collect Mobile to a PDF file stored in the device) but we will add the possibility to open hyperlinks written in the descriptions using the predefined web browser.  
Many thanks,  
Open Foris Team
