Adding deep links and redirects
Add a link into a human resources information system or to an outside website.
Use this process to place a link into an HRIS or an outside website on a portal landing page or on a widget. You can place a link on up to three landing pages. The best practice is to use this procedure instead of adding an inline link to a site. The advantage is that the link can be displayed on multiple pages of your portal but controlled at a single source, so updates are fast. This topic discusses non-Single-Sign-On links. To add these links, you must add a reference of the Redirect URL Master integration document and configure the data items to specify the URL and the locations of the link. (When you use a reference document, it inherits any changes that are made to the source document.) You must add a copy of the Redirect URL Master integration document for each link that you add. You must assign groups to the document. You may specify up to three landing pages where each link will be shown.
