Hello,

The Hyperlink or Picture field type is part of SharePoint from the very start. This column is very useful for, well, creating links, the building block of any web application. But the field has not evolved from the humble beginning, in SharePoint 2003. It still only allows you to specify whether you want the URL to be displayed as link or picture, that's about it.

That's why we created URL Plus field, which upgrades what the regular field can do. So now you can:

• Open links in a new window (if you want)
• Specify the link description, so your users don't have to enter any description and the links still have a uniform look (when you skip filling in the description in the built-in field, the URL itself is used as the description, which can be quite ugly)
• Show icon instead of textual link, so for instance, you can use the help icon for the links to the help pages.

We even support converting the new field back and forth into the built-in field, so you can convert your existing field and not lose your data!
