Copying a URL to Clipboard

The Copy URL to Clipboard feature provides the ability to copy the URL of a Library artifact such as a Report Package, Report, Snapshot Report, Book, or a third-party file. The URL will launch the artifact directly into a thin viewer or download the third-party file. Once copied, the URL can be distributed so users can easily access the artifact or file via a direct link. It can also be set up as a browser favorite.

The thin viewer that is launched with a native Library artifact allows basic functionality from the Actions menu, without the ability to Save the artifact. This feature is available in all Library systems and user-created folders (including cards on the Home page), and all users with at least View permissions to an artifact can copy a URL.

Note:

This feature is not available for multiple selections, only a single selected artifact.
This feature does not apply to folders.
The user launching the copied URL will need at least View access to the artifact.
