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.
:{| cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px"
|-
| style="min-width:4.7em"|
* [[Application]] URL
|
&nbsp; <tt>{{platformURL}}/app/{application_id}</tt>
|-
|
* [[Dashboard]] URL
|
&nbsp; <tt>{{platformURL}}/dashboard/{page_id}</tt>
|-
| valign="top"|
* [[Record URL]]
|
&nbsp; <tt>{{platformURL}}/record/{[[#Record ID|record_id]]}</tt>
<br>&nbsp; <tt>{{platformURL}}/record/{[[#Record Name|record_name]]}</tt>
|-
|
* [[Report]] URL
|
&nbsp; <tt>{{platformURL}}/report/{report_id}</tt><br>
|-
|
* [[View]] URL
|
&nbsp; <tt>{{platformURL}}/view/{object_name}/{view_id}</tt>
|}
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.)

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:
