# Hyperlinks

In Section reports, you can set the HyperLink property of the Label, TextBox, and Picture controls to add hyperlinks that connect to a Web page. You can use the HyperLink property to open an e-mail or jump to a bookmark.

## Content



In Section reports, you can set the **HyperLink** property available with the [Label](/activereportsnet/docs/v19.2/report-authors/report-controls/report-controls-section-report/label), [TextBox](/activereportsnet/docs/v19.2/report-authors/report-controls/report-controls-section-report/textbox-section), and [Picture](/activereportsnet/docs/v19.2/report-authors/report-controls/report-controls-section-report/picture) controls that allow you to add hyperlinks that connect to a Web page. You can use the **HyperLink** property to open an e-mail or jump to a bookmark.

You can also use any URI scheme in the **HyperLink** property of the controls mentioned above. For the full list of URI schemes, see [Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Schemes](https://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/uri-schemes.xhtml).

Hyperlinks are supported when you preview a Section report and export a report in [HTML](/activereportsnet/docs/v19.2/developers/export-reports/exporting-page-rdl-section-reports/html-export), [PDF](/activereportsnet/docs/v19.2/developers/export-reports/exporting-page-rdl-section-reports/pdf-export), [RTF](/activereportsnet/docs/v19.2/developers/export-reports/exporting-page-rdl-section-reports/rtf-export), and [Excel](/activereportsnet/docs/v19.2/developers/export-reports/exporting-page-rdl-section-reports/excel-export) formats.
