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 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
