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.

Once you know the pattern, you can also simply type a URL that matches one of those patterns into your browser.
Using that URL, you can get to any of the following:

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.

  https://{yourDomain}/networking/app/{application_id}

  https://{yourDomain}/networking/dashboard/{page_id}

  https://{yourDomain}/networking/record/{record_id}
  https://{yourDomain}/networking/record/{record_name}

  https://{yourDomain}/networking/report/{report_id}

  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.)

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:

URL Full GUI Content Only
Application URL Checkmark.gif
Dashboard URL Checkmark.gif
Record URL Checkmark.gif
Report URL Checkmark.gif
View URL Checkmark.gif
