Link - Map Configuration

Links are used to reference data from other web applications.

Setting the Administration

1. Under Administration > Integration > Link/Map Configuration can predetermine links you use often:
2. Enter a Name for your Link under Link/Map Group Name
3. Click the hyperlink to configure the URL and its parameters
   • In the following example, we'll build a link to Google Maps:
4. Click the Add button to start your first parameter
   
   • You can make multiple Maps under one Link, so don't let that scare you
5. Set your parameters
   • We want this first link to take us to a Google Maps Address
   • So I called the Link/Map Name "Address" and called it a "Shortcut"
   • For the External URL, I typed: https:// www. google. com/maps/place/+{0}+{1}
   • Weird huh. All those squiggle brackets...
   • But turns out that {0} and the {1} stand in for the Parameter Label #1 and Parameter Label #2 values
   • See it!?!?! Isn't it cool!?!?!?!

Adding a Shortcut

1. Add a Shortcut anywhere Shortcuts are allowed
2. You'll see the Add Shortcut page
3. Give your shortcut a name - usually a pithy nickname to tell you where the link is taking you
4. Select the Map you've already created:
5. When you select the Mapped Link, PI will fill in the rest for you:
   
6. You just give us the Street Address and Zip Code
