Deep Links for Person Spotlight Public Info

You can use deep links to open the Person Spotlight Public Info responsive pages without navigating through the menu structure. Deep links are useful when 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. To see a complete list of the available deep links, use the Deep Links work area (Navigator > Tools > Deep Links). To access this work area, you need to have the View Administration Link (FND_VIEW_ADMIN_LINK_PRIV) privilege.

How Deep Links Work

You can copy a URL from the Deep Links page and use it on your company website or other content, such as your reports and analytics. You can use deep links as is, or edit the link details to open product-specific pages and then add them to external sources. For more information, refer to your product-specific documents.

Note: If users click a deep link URL from your company website, but aren't yet signed in to Oracle Applications Cloud, they're automatically redirected to the Sign In page.

URL Pattern of Deep Links

Here's the 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.

You can use these parameters in the person spotlight public info deep links:

  • Person ID
  • Assignment ID
Note: Here are a few points to keep in mind:

  • You must not click deep links that require parameters directly on the deep links page. If the signed-in user doesn’t have an associated person record, then a blank page is displayed when the user clicks the deep link.

  • If the signed-in user doesn’t have an associated person record, then a blank page is displayed when the user clicks the deep link.

This table lists the parameters for deep links, along with their descriptions and some examples of parameter values.

Parameters with Descriptions and Values

Parameter Description Example of Parameter Values
pod-name Identifies the host name. 
pod.oraclecloud.com
objType Identifies the object type, such as work areas. DIRECTORY_ORG_CHART
objKey Identifies the specific object ID. personId
action Identifies the specific action that you want the users to do on the UI.

Here are a few points to keep in mind:

  • 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. But you can also add other actions, such as EDIT.
  • If the value that you add 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 Specifies the application URL to which the users will be automatically redirected, 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.
