UPK Player Package Links

The UPK administrator will have access to the player package link (URL). The link should look similar to this:

http://upkservername/upk/content_subject/toc.html

If you change the player package link ending from toc.html to kp.html you can access the kp.html file.

This is a sample kp.html page:

KP.HTML File Topic Modes

Each UPK installation includes a kp.html file that lists your UPK modules and topics. The kp.html file, which is located in the player package folder, enables you to manually link to a specific mode for a topic.

UPK modules can appear in five modes:

  • Do It

  • Know It

  • Try It

  • See It

  • Concept

Right-click the topic link and select Properties to access the topic-specific URL. If you are creating task-oriented related content, right-click the Do It link. If you are creating concept-oriented related content, right-click the Concept link.

The Properties dialog box shows the URL in the Address field. Although the fields on the dialog box are display-only, you can highlight and copy the address as this example shows:

UPK topic URL

Note these points about the format of the URLs:

  • For task-oriented information, the URL should look similar to this:

    http://upkserver/upk/peopletools/dhtml_kp.html?Guid=69f0376e-70fc-417c-a43c-ecd6afb72b29&Mode=D&Back

  • For conceptual information, the URL should look similar to this:

    http://upkserver/upk/peopletools/tpc/0350d9a9-6013-4cc9-9022-016f815029ba/Parts/index.html

Use this table to verify that the link accesses the correct mode:

Link Fragment Mode

Mode=D

Do It

Mode=K

Know It

Mode=T

Try It

Mode=S

See It

index.html

Concept

For each URL, the &Back fragment is extraneous for related content purposes. You delete this part of the URL when you create the service definition.
