URL Validation rule

We have a URL link that I would need to work in hand with a current custom text field (TIN__c). 

 

What we need is this URL when clicked on, to pickup the TIN__c field and navigate the user to an internal intranet server web page. 

 

So, when the user clicks the URL, it will find the TIN__c field, and navigate the user to an internal intranet server. 

 

here is the URL 

http://nap-sql-01/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fNet+Dev+-+Self+Service+Reports%2fNegotiator+Contracting+Resources%2fNegotiator+Resource+Home+Page

 

Is this even possible?

Maybe I am not seeing the entire URL but where in the URL does the TIN__c fit?


For example if I was creating a dynamic URL to take me to an Account record in Salesforce, it would be: https://naX.salesforce.com/{!Account.ID} because the URL places the Account ID after the backslash.

That's the catch, is there a way to do a formula that will pull the TIN__c from the account page + the URL and direct the user to the intranet ?

If the URL to your intranet page contains the actual TIN value in it, then yes. If not, then no. For example if the URL to look up the TIN in your interal site looked like this:

 

http://nap-sql-01/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2f{!TIN__c}&Net+Dev+-+Self+Service+Reports%2fNegotiator+Contracting+Resources%2fNegotiator+Resource+Home+Page

Yeah, the intranet page contains the TIN information.
