Creating the URL task

This task type is used to direct the users to an external site. This task type can be used to direct a new hire to:
  • schedule a drug test
  • schedule a background screening
  • complete a survey
  • read external content

External site URLs that are configured here are displayed in the task's Task Details Iframe panel.

Administrators can specify static URLs or URLs with variables. The protocol for the URL must match the protocol of Infor HR Talent. Otherwise, candidates and resources encounter browser errors. Because the protocol that is associated with HR Talent is https:, the protocol for the URL must also be https:. Variables are used to customize URLs by resource or by candidate. Variables are used when the outside system can accommodate access to a specific candidate's or resource's content. Variables are also used when records from the external system must be matched back to candidate or resource records in HR Talent. When a variable is used, the administrator specifies the URL and then selects the variable. The candidate's or resource's ID is added to the URL. For example, the URL and variable for a candidate whose ID is 1234 is shown as this: https://www.acme.com/search?q={CandidateID}. It is rendered as this: https://www.acme.com/search?q=1234.

Note: The content security policy for a website indicates whether its content can be shown within the Iframe of another website. This applies when the url is used alone or with a variable. Many websites restrict their content from being shown within an Iframe of another website without permission. Cooperation is required of the the Infor administrator and the development team. Some browsers are more strict than others about enforcing these rules.
