| A ''Short URL'' is a convenient, user-friendly URL that can be used (by someone with a platform login) to access virtually any element of the platform.
| | ==About Platform URLs== |
| __TOC__
| | Many of the pages you visit have a {{^URL}} that can be used (by someone with a platform login) to go to directly to that portion of the platform. That URL is displayed in the browser's address bar, and can be pasted into an email or a document. |
| ===Obtaining a Short URL===
| |
| Clicking the tilted "figure-8" icon on a page [[File:CopyShortURL.png]] brings up dialog that gives you a URL you can copy. You can put that URL into an email, a web page, or a bookmark. Any authorized user who follows the link goes directly to the targeted page in the platform.
| |
|
| |
|
| :'''Note:'''<br>The Short URL icon for an application appears at the top of the ''Manage Application'' page for the app.
| | ==Working with Platform URLs== |
| | |
| Using that URL, you can get to any of the following:
| |
| | |
| :{| cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px"
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4.7em"|
| |
| * [[Application]] URL
| |
| |
| |
| <tt>{{platformURL}}/app/{application_id}</tt>
| |
| | |
| |-
| |
| |
| |
| * [[Dashboard]] URL
| |
| |
| |
| <tt>{{platformURL}}/dashboard/{page_id}</tt>
| |
| | |
| |-
| |
| | valign="top"|
| |
| * [[Record URL]]
| |
| |
| |
| <tt>{{platformURL}}/record/{record_id}</tt>
| |
| <br> <tt>{{platformURL}}/record/{[[#Record Name|record_name]]}</tt>
| |
| | |
| |-
| |
| |
| |
| * [[Report]] URL
| |
| |
| |
| <tt>{{platformURL}}/report/{report_id}</tt><br>
| |
| | |
| |-
| |
| |
| |
| * [[View]] URL
| |
| |
| |
| <tt>{{platformURL}}/view/{object_name}/{view_id}</tt>
| |
| |}
| |
| Once you know the pattern, you can also simply type a URL that matches one of those patterns into your browser.
| |
| | |
| The Record URL is particularly worthy of note because, once things are set up properly, you can use the record ''name'' to define the URL. (More on that subject below.)
| |
| | |
| ;Considerations:
| |
| Some URLs go to the platform GUI, and display the page as a tab within it. Other URLs display the page content only, without the platform GUI surrounding it. The following table shows which is which:
| |
| :{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1"
| |
| ! URL !! Full GUI !! Content Only
