Navigating and Sharing via URL
In IC-Web, URLs can be used to navigate directly to specific areas of the application or to share links to selected items with other users.
Navigating via URL
IC-Web supports navigation to specific sections and page elements using URL parameters. These parameters direct the browser to a particular database entry via a GET request.
The parameter searchKey identifies the database table, while searchValue specifies the numeric ID of the selected item within that table.
The available inputs are shown below.
<table> value |
<value> meaning |
|---|---|
Asset |
VN_ID |
Library |
Library_ID |
Planning |
VN_ID |
Workpack |
Workpack_ID |
Review |
Header_ID |
Anomaly |
Anomaly_ID |
These parameters can be appended to the IC-Web URL as follows:
https://demo.nexusic.com/?searchKey=<table>&searchValue=<value>
Example
Using the Expert Systems database, the following URL navigates to the Gas Transmission asset:
https://demo.nexusic.com/?searchKey=Asset&searchValue=2638
Note
For Asset, Planning, and Review items, if the component exists in multiple views, one of the available views is selected automatically.
Navigating to a Specific Dashboard
You can also navigate directly to a specific asset dashboard by including the tab and dashboardId parameters.
For example, if a Report Template has the ID 325, the following URL opens that dashboard for the Gas Transmission asset in the Expert Systems database:
https://demo.nexusic.com/?searchKey=Asset&searchValue=2638&tab=Dashboard&dashboardId=325
Sharing via URL
IC-Web assets, library items, workpacks, events, anomalies, dashboards, and items on the PLANNING screen can be shared using a URL.
To generate a shareable link:
Select the row you want to share on the relevant page.
From the toolbar, choose Navigation Link ‣ Copy to Clipboard.
You can then share this link as needed. When opened, the recipient is directed to the selected page and item in IC-Web.
