 Render Content URL page

Field or Control

Description

Format Rendering URL

Click to generate a URL to rendered content in the Rendering URL field.

Important! If you change your rendering option selections, you must click this button to reconstruct a proper URL.

Rendering URL

Contains the URL generated to access content rendered using the options selected on this page.

Note: This URL is not stored.

This URL provides direct viewer access to rendered content for qualified viewers from any location within or outside your PeopleSoft Interaction hub who also have appropriate viewer access to the rendered content.

Users who want to access this URL from outside the PeopleSoft Interaction hub must be able to log in to the portal, unless single login is implemented. If this URL is published and accessed from within the same PeopleSoft Interaction hub in which the content is located, no login is necessary because the user accessing the URL will already be logged in.

Rendering Options

Use the options in the Rendering Options section to set rendering options for the selected content. You can view the results of your selection on the Preview Content Inquiry page, or by accessing the rendering URL generated on this page.

If you do not select any rendering options, only text or HTML content is rendered. If the content is a document attachment or website URL, only a link to the attachment or website is rendered.

Note: If both Wrap in Portal and Include Return Link options are selected on the Render Content URL page, you must ensure that the return URL value include /psc/ and not /psp/ if you intend to return to a PeopleSoft URL. If you leave the /psp/ in the URL, a double header will be rendered when the user clicks the Return link.
