Deep Linking

Deep Linking allows you to create buttons, links and actions for faster navigation across the application. For example, on a dashboard you can have a button, which opens a page with specific document, or vice versa - a quote item can have a link to a specific dashboard for analysis.

For example, in a DashboardController, use addLink() to link to any page with the same frontend application:

def controller = api.newController()

controller.addLink('Customers', AppPages.MD_CUSTOMERS_PAGE, null)
controller.addLink('Customer Detail', AppPages.MD_CUSTOMERS_PAGE, 'CD-00001')

return controller

Use internal links tokens to link to any pages within the Pricefx frontend application — rather than hardcoded urls. This ensures that the link works even if the frontend application changes.

An internal link consists of three parameters:

label

The text that will be displayed to the end user.

targetPage

The page that the end user will be redirected to. For example, AppPages.MD_PRODUCTS_PAGE leads to the products page that lists all the products. For supported values see routePage Values to Use in targetPage.

targetPageState

The state of the targetPage, or a sub-page of the targetPage. For example, targetPage=AppPages.MD_PRODUCTS_PAGE and targetPageState=MB-00001 leads to the product detail page for the sku MB-00001.
