Creating Deep Links

Create deep links in your analytics that let you navigate from an analytic to specific attributes and objects in your transaction pages without navigating through the menu structure.

You can use deep links to easily view the transaction details in Oracle Permitting and Licensing from your Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) reports.

Here’s how to create deep links:

1. Click the Reports and Analytics header icon on the Agency Springboard, and select BI Catalog.

2. Create or edit an analysis. Use a subject area that includes the attribute you want to link to in the transactional pages. For example, use Public Sector Cloud - Permits Real Time.

3. In the Selected Columns pane on the Criteria tab, click (Options) for the attribute column on which you want a deep link.

4. Select Column Properties.

5. Open the Interaction tab in the Column Properties dialog box.

6. In the Primary Interaction list in the Value section, select Action Links to display the Action Links table.

7. Select the Do not display in a pop-up if only one action link is available at runtime option.

8. Click Add Action Link.

9. In the New Action Link dialog box, enter the link text for the navigation.

10. Click the Create New Action icon and select Navigate to a Web Page.

11. In the Create New Action dialog box, enter the URL to navigate to, which references parameters you define in the prompt. For shared analyses, enter a URL with your website host name:

    http://<hostname>/fscmUI/deeplink?root=@{1}&context=LnpRecordKey%253D@{2}

    • Replace <hostname> with the host name of your Oracle Permitting and Licensing instance.

    • Replace deeplink with the Public Sector homepage. For example, publicSector.html.

12. Click Define Parameters to add corresponding parameters for the URL.

13. In the Define Parameters section, click Add Parameter to add the following mandatory parameters:

    Name	Prompt	Type of Value	Value	Fixed	Hidden	Optional
    1	root	Value	PSCLNP_RECORD_DETAIL	Selected	Selected	Selected
    2	context	Column Value	"<table.name>"."<column.name>"	Selected	Selected	Selected

    For example, the context could be “Construction”.”<LNP Record Key>,” where the LNP Record Key is “Permit Number.” This creates a deep link on the permit number to navigate to the permit transaction detail page.

14. Click Options to set how the page opens.

15. In the Action Options dialog box, select Open in New Window to open the page in a new window.

16. Save your work.

17. If you have provided the Return Application name, a Return icon is available in the transactional page to return to the analysis.
