The system administrator creates the hyperlinks that are available for a template designer to associate with content items in a template. These hyperlinks are the hyperlink addresses for the HTML pages that you can link to from an online bill.
Give a name and description to each hyperlink. Pick a name for the hyperlink that easily identifies the hyperlink for the template designer. For example, if you create the hyperlink that links to your company home page, then you could provide a name such as Company Home Page.
Enter the URL address. At run time, Bill Presentment Architecture (BPA) will automatically add the server name and port number to the beginning of the address.
If the hyperlink is linked to another Oracle application, you don't have to enter the full address. Otherwise, you must enter the full address.
You can also enter parameters for the hyperlink address.
To add a fixed value parameter, such as country=us click Add Another Row under Fixed Values. Enter the name and value for the parameter.
To select a transaction attribute, specify a data source level, data source and view. Click Add Another Row and search for the attribute you want to add. Select the Encrypt check box if you want to prevent external users from accessing to your internal web pages.
For information on associating hyperlinks to content items, see: Updating Properties.
Warning: If you associate a hyperlink to the Item Description content item in the Lines and Tax area, then you will override the default links that BPA automatically provides. The links from grouped transaction lines to transaction lines and from transaction lines to transaction details will no longer be functional.
Note: You can associate a hyperlink with a transaction attribute only to a content item of the same data source view. Hyperlinks with fixed value parameters, however, can be associated with any content item.
BPA provides four seeded hyperlinks that you can associate with content items:
Oracle Header Level Sales Order link
Oracle Lines Level Sales Order link
Oracle Applied Transaction Number link
Oracle Transaction Number Link
