ASM Self Service Portal URLs
This section lists the areas of the Self Service Portal that can be accessed using a URL from an external source, such as a website, or from within the Self Service Portal, such as from My Options.
Create links to the Self Service Portal to perform a wide range of actions, such as opening specific submission forms, pre-populating fields, submitting forms, and retrieving data.
Portal URLs have various Form parameters which can be set to a particular portal page; for example, the page for reviewing calls, requests, tasks, or knowledge articles.
In all URLs for the Self Service Portal ?Lite is required as it designates the Self Service Portal interface as opposed to other interfaces such as vFireOfficer, or HTML Only, etc.
All URLs that follow contain the minimum parameters required to achieve the documented goal. Additional optional parameters can be added to the URL.
My Options
When using these URLs in My Options the full address is not required. Include only the portion of the URL that follows ?Lite.
For example, the full address for the Self Service Portal Knowledge Search page is http://<server_name>/<virtual_directory>/Core.aspx?Lite&Form=KnowledgeSearchCriteria so you would enter &Form=KnowledgeSearchCriteria into the URL field in My Options.
Access the Self Service Portal
The inclusion of Lite in a URL denotes the Self Service Portal interface.
URL: http://<server_name>/<virtual_directory>/Core.aspx?Lite
|
Description of the URL |
Description of Variable Parameters |
|---|---|
|
Use this URL to launch the Self Service Portal |
<server_name> = replace with the name, domain name or IP address of the web server <virtual_directory> = replace with the name of the virtual directory specified in the Server Console |
Generic Parameters for Self Service Portal URLs
The following parameters can be added as an extension to the URL used to launch the Self Service Portal:
|
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Partition http://<server_name>/<virtual_directory>/Core.aspx?Lite&Partition=<X>
http://localhost/test/Core.aspx?Lite& Form=KnowledgeSearchCriteria&Partition=2 |
If using a partitioned system, you can define portal URLs to refer to a specific partition. The example launches a knowledge search submission window in the HR partition that has the REF value of 1 in the database. Partitions are created in System Administration. The unique reference is found in REF.SU_PARTITIONS in the database. Specifying a partition in a URL does not bypass normal partition permission behaviors. Access to partitioned data is controlled by the partition settings configured for the system, and the partition permissions assigned to each person. |
|
Database http://<server_name>/<virtual_directory>/Core.aspx?Lite&database=<X>
http://localhost/test/Core.aspx?Lite& Form=KnowledgeSearchCriteria&Database=test |
If multiple systems exist on the server, you can define portal URLs to refer to a specific system. The example launches a knowledge search submission window in the Test system. Systems are created in the ASM Core Server Console. |
|
Portal http://<server_name>/<virtual_directory>/Core.aspx?Lite&portal=<X>
http://localhost/test/Core.aspx?Lite& Form=KnowledgeSearchCriteria&portal=NY |
If there are multiple portal systems, you can define portal URLs to refer to a specific portal system. This example launches a knowledge search submission window in the New York portal system. Self Service Portal Systems are configured in System Administration. |
