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
|
&nbsp; <tt><nowiki>http://{domain}/networking/app/{application_id}</nowiki></tt>
 
|-
|
* [[Dashboard]] URL
|
&nbsp; <tt><nowiki>http://{domain}/networking/dashboard/{page_id}</nowiki></tt>
 
|-
|
* [[Document]] URL
|
&nbsp; <tt><nowiki>http://{domain}/networking/document/{document_id}</nowiki></tt>
 
|-
| valign="top"|
* [[Record URL]]
|
&nbsp; <tt><nowiki>http://{domain}/networking/record/{record_id}</nowiki></tt>
<br>&nbsp; <tt><nowiki>http://{domain}/networking/record/</nowiki>{[[#Record Name|record_name]]}</tt>
 
|-
|
* [[Report]] URL
|
&nbsp; <tt><nowiki>http://{domain}/networking/report/{report_id}</nowiki></tt><br>
 
|-
|
* [[View]] URL
|
&nbsp; <tt><nowiki>http://{domain}/networking/view/{object_name}/{view_id}</nowiki></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
|-
| [[Application]] URL ||  align="center"|[[File:Checkmark.gif|link=]]    ||

| [[Dashboard]] URL  ||  || align="center"|[[File:Checkmark.gif|link=]]

About Platform URLs

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.

Working with Platform URLs

Sample App

This sample page uses short URLs as links in a JSP page populated with a list of object records.
