Example Configuration Key
Example: /DpeWebApplication/Admin/Admin.aspx#/workflow-monitor?search=%2BCreator%3A{user}%20State%3AScheduled
This link will take the user to the Workflow-Monitor of the admin, and display only workflows started by that user, which are scheduled.
Notation Explained
- The starting /, makes the url relative, meaning that it will stay in the same domain.
- The DpeWebApplication/Admin/Admin.aspx#/workflow-monitor is the link's destination, in this case Workflow Monitor.
- The ?search=%2BCreator%3A{user} starts a search with the following commands: Creator:[current user]
- As colons and spaces can not be used in URLs, the search term is standard URL encoded. This means that a plus has to be replaced by %2B, colons by %3A, spaces by %20 and so on.
- The {user} is replaced by the current logged in user name.
Hint
- Easiest way for getting the right URL for the Config is browsing to the correct target location, applying the search you want to have and copying the URL from the web browser into your config.
- If needed: Replace your user name by {user} for making it generic.
