You use the following URL parameters to personalize the Self Service for a user:
brand
: can be used on a brand selector pagelocale
: can be used to localize the contentsegments
: can be used to target the content on the Marketing panel
You can pass these parameters in a URL so that a user is directed to the appropriate site, using the following syntax:
For the first parameter, append to the URL a question mark and the parameter with its value:
http://hostname:port
/service/main.jsp?segments=Segment1
To add additional parameters, use the ampersand character:
http://hostname:port
/service/main.jsp?segments=Wisdom&brand=Knowledge
You can create a page on which the user selects a brand, then pre-pend the chosen brand to the user name and password, so that when a user logs in to Self Service, the right site is displayed.
For example, when an agent e-mails a solution to a user, the brand selector page can be displayed after the log-in so that the solution is displayed on Self Service using the correct style.
The ATG Service Administration Self Service > Global Settings page has a Brand Management setting that controls this feature.
Note: When a user access the site, the GlobalPageParametersFilter
parameterlooks for a page parameter entitled brand
. If this parameter is present, it sets the brand property on the user profile. For a brand specific site to be displayed correctly for a logged in user, the brand parameter must be specified in the URL.
If the parameter is not present, the profile property is set to empty, which treats the user as if a member of the EveryoneExternal
group.
