URL Parameters

A URL Parameter can be added to any Space, making it available for components in the Space to utilize. This can be useful if you want to create a Space that shows data tied to a specific parameter.

‍

Example Use Cases:

Jane created two Spaces: “All Companies” (displays a list of Jane’s customers) and “Company Profile” (displays detailed information for a specified company). In All Companies, when a user selects a specific company (let’s say with company_id=123), they should be taken to the Company Profile for company_id= 123.

‍

How to add URL Parameters

‍

  1. Click the App Data icon on the left nav.
  2. Click “+” next to URL Parameters.
  3. Enter your URL Parameter.

Note: URL Parameter should only include 0-9, letters A-Z & a-z, "-", ".", and "_".

‍

‍

Utilizing URL Parameters

A URL Parameter can be used to filter data displayed in components like Table, Detail, or Card List. For example, you may want to display all records in a Table where the column "id" is equal to the URL Parameter "company_id" that is passed into your Space.

  1. Open the configuration settings of your component.
  2. Click on the “Filters” tab.
  3. Add a new filter and bind to the URL Parameter you created.

Table config (Filters)

A URL Parameter can also be used to populate components like Form, Button, Calculated Fields, and JSON Viewer. For example, you may want to pre-fill a form's input field "Id" with the value of the URL Parameter "company_id" that is passed into your Space.

  1. Open the configuration settings of your component.
  2. Click on the “Fields” tab.
  3. Select a field that you want to bind to the URL Parameter.
  4. In “What value should be used?”, choose “Use a value from a Component” and select the URL Parameter.

Link two spaces together with URL Parameters

URL Parameters are a great way to add contextual linking between Spaces. Once you've added a URL Parameter to a Space (Space A), go to another Space (Space B) and try adding a Link component. The Link template should include your URL parameter.

For example, https://secure.internal.io/spaces/A?company_id=1234 would send a user to Space "A" where the URL Parameter "company_id" is equal to 1234.
