You can use the following URL parameters to personalize your Self Service site for any user. Using URL parameters is particularly helpful when working with transient, or unregistered, user:
- brand: can be used on a brand selector page
- locale: can be used to localize the content. For detailed information on localized URL parameters, refer to the ATG Platform Programming Guide
- segments: can be used to target the content on the Marketing panel
These parameters are passed 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. For example: - http://- hostname:port/service/main.jsp?segments=- Segment1
- To add additional parameters, use the ampersand character (&). For example: - http://- hostname:port/service/main.jsp?segments=- Segment1&brand=- Brand1
For information on creating parameters that are passed to a URL, refer to the ATG Page Developer's Guide.
Note: When a user access the site, the GlobalPageParametersFilter parameter looks 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.
