Deep Links

You can use deep links to open pages without using menus or navigating through pages. Deep links come in handy if you want users to go directly from various locations to Oracle Applications Cloud.

You can add deep links to a business intelligence report, an email notification, or a company website hosted on Oracle Cloud. For example, you can enable direct navigation to the My Team page. If users click your deep link URL from the company website, but aren't yet signed in to Oracle Applications Cloud, they're automatically redirected to the Sign In page. To see a complete list of the available deep links, use the Deep Links work area (Navigator > Tools > Deep Links). For access to this work area, you need to have the View Administration Link (FND_VIEW_ADMIN_LINK_PRIV) privilege.

How It Works

You can copy a URL from the Deep Links page and use it to create a link, for example on your company website. You can use deep links as is, to take users to a high level page, for example an overview or search page. Or, you can edit the URL so that it opens a page where the user can take action, for example to create something. For more information, refer to your product-specific documents.

URL Pattern of Deep Links

Here's a typical URL pattern of a deep link.

https://<pod-name>/fndSetup/faces/deeplink?objType=<objID>&objKey=<name1=value1;name2=value2>&action=<action>&returnApp=<returnappURL>&returnAppParams=<returnAppParameter>

To direct users to a product-specific action page, you need to add specific parameters to the deep link URL. This table describes the parameters and gives you some examples of parameter values.

Parameter

Description

Example of Parameter Values

pod-name

The host name.

pod.oraclecloud.com

objType

The object type, such as work areas.

SUPPLIER

objKey

The object identifier.

SupplierNumber

action

The action that users can do on the page that the URL opens up, for example to edit something.

Here are a few things to know:

  • If you don't add any value for the action parameter, this value is considered as NONE by default. So users will be taken to a high-level page, such as an overview page or a search page.

  • If the value you added for the action parameter doesn't match with any action on the UI, or the user doesn't have the privileges to access that action, they will be taken to a high-level page.

NONE

VIEW

CREATE

EDIT

returnAppURL

The application URL where users will be automatically redirected to when they try to return to the previous page, or after they complete their task.

If you're using a third party URL, make sure the application name is registered using the Manage Integration of Additional Applications page in the Setup and Maintenance work area.

MyOracle

returnAppParams

Parameters for the return application URL.
