Generating and emailing bookmark links

Users can get access to bookmarks using a hyperlink. From the Actions menu on the bookmark details panel, you can generate the link to the bookmark, or email the link.

Users who try to navigate to a bookmark using a link are prompted to log in to Big Data Discovery. Even if they are sent the link, users cannot navigate to a bookmark for a project or page they do not have access to.

Note that in order to be able to send snapshots by email, the outbound email server for Big Data Discovery must be configured. For information on how to configure the outbound email server, see the Administrator's Guide.

To generate or email a link to a bookmark:

To generate the link to a bookmark, from the bookmark Actions menu, select Create Link.

The Bookmark Link dialog is displayed, with the link displayed in a field. The link is selected automatically, so that you can immediately copy it.
To email a link to a bookmark:
1. From the bookmark Actions menu, select Email.
  
  The Email Bookmark dialog is displayed, with the Subject and Message fields pre-populated.
2. In the To field, type the email address for the recipient.
  
  If you are sending the snapshot to multiple recipients, then for each additional recipient, click the + icon to add a field for the email address.
3. The From field contains your email address, which is used as the reply-to address on the email message.
  
  Note that this is not the From address. The From address on the email is the address associated with the outbound email server.
  
  For information on configuring the outbound email server, see the Administrator's Guide.
4. In the Subject field, you can customize the subject line for the email.
5. In the Message field, you can add any additional text to the email message.
  
  Make sure you do not change the bookmark link.
6. To send the email, click Send.
