How to Add URL Hyperlinks to Notifications

The web_url field in the Change_Request and Workflow_Task tables holds a URL value that allows a user to access a particular change order or workflow task through the web interface. When used in email notifications, a user can click the URL and go to the web interface without any further querying.

Before you can implement URL hyperlinks in notifications, configure your system as follows:

  1. Install and configure the CA SDM web interface.

    Note: For more information about configuring the CA SDM web interface, see the Implementation Guide.

  2. Using the Options Manager, configure and install the web_cgi_url option to specify the location of the CA SDM web engine, for example, http://hostname/scripts/pdmcgi.exe.
