The Base URL is created by an organization's technical team. The technical team, according to your current SSO setup, can edit your SSO code accordingly and provide the correct Base URL to use for your portal. You’ll need to set up and know your SSO Base URL before Deep Linking can function. For more information on setting up a Base URL with your technical team, please review the Creating a Base URL and Activating Deep Linking guide. See Deep Linking - Creating a Base URL and Activating.
Note: Deep links function without SSO. However, they will require the user to log in or be logged into the portal before the user is navigated to the appropriate page.
The Base URL tab on the Deep Link page lists the base URLs that are configured by the administrator. From this page, administrators can add and edit base URLs.
Design Note: An updated interface is available for this page, which can be enabled by administrators in Feature Activation Preferences. With the new design, the functionality of the page is unchanged.
To access the Deep Link page, go to .
