Question & Answer


Question

Is it possible possible to provide a link at Short/Long Description of a term at another term? For Example: TERM-1 provide a link (short cut) to TERM-2 in Business Glossary. Something like: [: [port]/bg/TERM-2 | TERM-2]

Answer

This is possible by using the following URLs to link a term/category
- The Term hyperlink follows this format: http://hostmachine:9080/bg/displayFullDossier.do?type=term&path=Parent Category::Sub Category::Sub Sub Category::Term Name
- The Category hyperlink follows this format: http://hostmachine:9080/bg/displayFullDossier.do?type=category&path=Parent Category::Sub Category::Sub Sub Category::Target Category Name


It is important to notice that:
- Term path has no additional spaces
- Path is case sensitive


As an example, please reference the screen shots below:






At this example, this is the URL for the term - http://host:port/bg/displayFullDossier.do?type=term&path=Industry Model Business Vocabulary::Business Terms::Account::Bank account

 
After using above URL - It is possible to open the term as shown below:
