Providing access to WUI views and menus

The Web User Interface is accessed using standard web browser software. Users can link to the WUI from any location that can launch a web browser by supplying a valid URL.

Every time you access the Web User Interface, a new window is opened showing a new instance of the data. The different instances of the data are independent of each other. See Opening a new window for information about the maximum number of windows you can have open at any one time.

The URL must be correctly formatted for a HTTP or HTTPS request using escaping for reserved and unsafe characters with standard HTTP '%nn' notation, where nn is the hexadecimal representation of a character from the ISO–8859–1 code page. For example, '%7E' represents the tilda ('~') character. Except for the 'http' or 'https' prefix, the URL, in general, is not case sensitive unless the value of any query variables is case sensitive.

For information about the HTTP standard refer to RFC2068 - Hypertext Transfer Protocol - HTTP/1.1.

The URL is constructed as follows:

prefix:path?selection criteria

Note: The path and the selection criteria, which are specified as HTTP query variables, are separated by a question mark (?). If selection criteria are not present, the '?' should not be specified.
