Configuring Hyperlink Details
A hyperlink detail allows linking to an external site with the ability to pass variables.
Variable | Description |
---|---|
%1 |
Record number (e.g., "E1-1") |
%2 |
User ID (ID of the currently logged in XFRACAS user) |
%3 |
Page ID (the internal ID of the record) |
%4 |
User Name (username, with domain, of the currently logged in XFRACAS user, e.g., "COMPANY\USERNAME") |
%5 |
Page title (title of the record) |
%6 |
User Name Without Domain (username of the currently logged in XFRACAS user, but with the Windows domain stripped off. For example, "COMPANY\USERNAME" would be included as just "USERNAME.") |
%7 |
User Language Code |
%DTX |
Detail Value (X represents the detail type ID) |
For example, the URL field for a hyperlink detail might look like this:
http://external.site.com/doStuff.cgi?record=[%1]&user=[%2]&title=[%5]&lang=[%7]
When incident E1-1, titled "Overflow," is edited by the user with ID 234, the URL generated would be:
http://external.site.com/doStuff.cgi?record=E1-1&user=234&title=Overflow&lang=en
Clicking the link opens the result in a new browser window. There is no expectation of anything being returned.
