About this task

When you create a module for your catalog page, you can direct users to a specific catalog and view from this module via a URL.

Procedure

1. In the Link Type section, select URL (from Arguments), then in the Arguments field, enter a URL of the form catalog_home.do?sysparm_catalog=id of sc_catalog record&sysparm_catalog_view=view name of sys_portal_page.

   For example, catalog_home.do?sysparm_catalog=742ce428d7211100f2d224837e61036d&sysparm_catalog_view=catalog_technical_catalog

   Note: If you make the default catalog inactive, then deactivate the Catalog module otherwise users can continue to access the inactive catalog using that module.

   If a URL has a valid sysparm_catalogparameter, but an invalid or missing sysparm_catalog_view parameter, the view with the default value from the corresponding Catalog Portal Page record is used.

   If a URL has a valid sysparm_catalog_view parameter, but an invalid or missing sysparm_catalog parameter, the corresponding Catalog Portal Page record is used to set the catalog.

   Note: To ensure peak performance, define both parameters correctly.
