Platform URLs

About Platform URLs

Every page you visit has a URL that can be used (by someone with a platform login) to access virtually any element of the platform. That URL is displayed in the browser's address bar, and can be pasted into an email or a document.

Platform URL Patterns

Once you know the pattern, you can also simply type a URL that matches one of those patterns into your browser.

Application URL	https://{yourDomain}/networking/app/{application_id}
Dashboard URL	https://{yourDomain}/networking/dashboard/{page_id}
Record URL	https://{yourDomain}/networking/record/{record_id}   https://{yourDomain}/networking/record/{record_name}
Report URL	https://{yourDomain}/networking/report/{report_id}
View URL	https://{yourDomain}/networking/view/{object_name}/{view_id}

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.)

Platform URL Targets

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:

URL	Full GUI	Content Only
Application URL
Dashboard URL
