About Using Web Links to Create New Integration Scenarios

Adding Web link custom fields to Oracle CRM On Demand provides many new integration opportunities. You can create an integration, based on the user interface, to on premise and external systems that allow users to navigate directly to content from Oracle CRM On Demand.

Some examples include:

• Create a link to a financial Web site based on the account ticker symbol that brings up a stock chart for the account.
• Create a link to an internal system that uses Web Services and creates a composite view of data from multiple on premise and hosted solutions relevant to the current account.

NOTE: Oracle CRM On Demand does not support internal (from within Oracle CRM On Demand) URLs or external URLs to embed analytics content. If you use a URL to embed analytics content in custom Web applets, then there is no guarantee that the URL will work after you perform an upgrade. Use the custom Homepage report to display analytics content within Oracle CRM On Demand.
