insert an action,

  • Set a variable
  • create a new Variable
  • Variable name “LinkToItem”
  • Variable type “Sting”
  • Open the String Builder
    • start with the <a href=””>Add your display text here</a>LinkToItem
    • between the double “” insert the following items from the Add or Change lookup
    • [%Workflow Context: Current Site URL%]
    • then /Lists/
    • [%Workflow Context: List%]
    • Then /displayform.aspx?id=
    • [%Current Item: ID%]
