Direct Links are a helpful tool for creating customized links that can be used to navigate a User to a specific module, search a specified value, and/or set a specific layout. These are very helpful to construct when creating reference tools or to assist in the clarity when sharing a specific module, request, or layout. They can be added to an email or embedded in another system to directly link to a module, row, and/or even open a specific request.
Step-by-step guide
Direct Link: Module Name and Search
(Example- " https://Example.Stratawise.com/#/home/open/manufacturing/item?search=Part123 ")
- By adding " /#/home/open/manufacturing/item?search=Part123 " to the URL after " Stratawise.com " as depicted in the example
- We are able to create a customized link that as referenced in blue text above will Open the Manufacturing module and Search the grid for Part123
- These values may be altered to create Direct Link referencing a specific module and search requests in your own work space
- The term placed in the area Manufacturing in the above URL example specifies which module is being accessed
- While the search=Part123 section is setting the search value to " Part123 "
- This example uses a Direct Link to specify the module by the Module Name, and the search value to Part123
- It is important to follow this same format for proper results
Direct Link: ModuleID, Layout, and Search
(Example- " https://Example.Stratawise.com/#/home/entities/226?viewname=CustomLayout&search=Part123 ")
- The above example allows the URL to specify a module and define a search value within that module
- If when viewing the Manufacturing module the URL on the page displays this: " Stratawise.com/#/home/entities/226 "
- We can reference this same module by this blue text number given here as well
- This means that while in the Manufacturing module we are able see the ModuleID, the blue text above " 226 "
- Note the ModuleID varies between modules
- This value can be used to reference the module as well when used in this format
- In this example above are more features able to be added to a Direct Link
- By using viewname=CustomLayout in blue text above, the Direct Link is able to specify value of the view for the grid
- In this example it is being set to a saved layout CustomLayout
- Another important feature demonstrated here is the & between the specified view and the search allowing both to be specified within the Direct Link
- This example uses a Direct Link to specify the module by the ModuleID, the view to CustomLayout, and the search value to Part123
- Similarly it is important to use the proper format as depicted in the example when using ModuleID as the reference
(Note: the specifications around the & being switched such as - " Stratawise.com/#/home/entities/226?search=Part123&viewname=CustomLayout " will produce the same result)
Direct Link: Module Name, and Open Request by EntityID
(Example- " https://Example.Stratawise.com/#/home/open/manufacturing/item?eid=50 ")
- The above example allows the URL to specify the module and open a request within the grid
- This is done by using the EntityID whose value is labeled in blue text above
- This format making use of the term Open within the Direct Link allowing a specific request to be opened and edited
- Adding eid=50 to the Direct Link opens the request with that ID value
- This example uses a Direct Link to specify the module by the Module Name, and the open a request by the EntityID
Direct Link: Module Name, and Set Focus to a Request by EntityID
(Example- " https://Example.Stratawise.com/#/home/focus/Manufacturing/item?eid=25 ")
- The above example uses the EntityID number the in blue text to focus a row/request within the module
- The module here is being specified by the Module Name Manufacturing
- This format is making use of the term Focus in blue text above within the Direct Link, this allows a specific request or row to be highlighted
- This example uses a Direct Link to specify the module by the Module Name, and set the focus to a request by the EntityID
