11 Configuring Links

You can use the Maintain Links form in the RDC Administration application to add customized links to RDC. Any information that can be made available through a URL can be made accessible to RDC users.

In addition, your customized links support passing session details to a URL or database function. Therefore, you can link to pages that are context-sensitive to a user's current RDC environment.

For example, you can configure a URL that RDC displays in the Links section on the Home page. The link adds a parameter string with the session's user role value to the URL. You can write a target page that switches the content according to user role. A site user, data manager, and investigator can then view different content from the same link.
