For example, what to do when a\u00a0Design Studio\u00a0dashboard needs to link to another\u00a0dashboard?<\/p>\n<p>If we just use the OpenDocument URL\u00a0it will always reference to the object on a specific system (i.e. Production), independently of the installation the dashboard is running\u00a0on. This will definitely lead to issues during development and testing, as the referenced object is on a different environment giving probably some unrelated results, and might even not be available or accessible at all!<\/p>\n<p>The solution is pretty simple, but you just have to\u00a0know this:\u00a0Always use <strong>relative<\/strong> URLs instead of the full absolute URLs.\u00a0This relative URL should look like: <em><strong>\/BOE\/OpenDocument\/opendoc\/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&amp;iDocID=&lt;CUID&gt;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s basically the OpenDocument Link without the <em><strong>http:\/\/&lt;server&gt;:&lt;port&gt;<\/strong><\/em> part. This\u00a0setup will also reuse a session on the BI Platform, saving login time and platform resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the BI Platform each document and folder has its own direct\u00a0Document Link.
