Creating URLs

You can create URLs to webpages and store them within the repository. These URLs can further enhance analytics, by providing an additional interactive context to your data. You can run a URL from the Home Page, use it in a portal, or add it to a personal page. If your URL is optimized for use in an iFrame, you can embed it within a container on a page. You can also publish and share a URL to make it available to other users and groups.

Note: Some web pages cannot be run inside an iFrame or inside the preview Run window on
the Home Page. You can run these web pages in a new browser tab or window.
