You can direct users to one of their My Pages, to a community, to a user profile, to a Knowledge Directory folder, to a document, or to search results with a simple URL, referred to as a friendly URL.

• To direct users to one of their My Pages, to a community, to a user profile, to a Knowledge Directory folder, or to a document, create a link in the following format: http://portal.company.com/portal/server.pt/object_token/object_name/[object_id]
  • Replace http://portal.company.com/portal/server.pt with the URL to your portal.

  • Replace object_token with the token for the type of object to which you are linking.

    The default values are: mypage, community, user, directory, and document, but your portal administrator might have customized them. For example, “directory” could instead be “folder.”

  • Replace object_name with the name of the object. Replace any spaces in My Page, community, user, or Knowledge Directory folder names with underscores (_); replace any spaces in document names with plus signs (+).
  • You can optionally specify the object ID. To do so, replace object_id with the ID of the object.
  Note:
  

  • Users must have at least Read access to the object to which you are directing them.
  • If an object cannot be found, the user will receive an error message.
  • If more than one object has the name specified in the link and an ID is not specified, the portal displays a list of objects with the same name and the user can select which one to view.
• To direct users to search results, create a link in the following format: http://portal.company.com/portal/server.pt/search?q=search+term[&num=items]
  • Replace http://portal.company.com/portal/server.pt with the URL to your portal.
  • Replace search+term with the term you want to search for, replacing any spaces with plus signs (+).
  • You can optionally specify the number of results to display per page. To do so, include the num element and replace items with the number of results you want to display per page.
