Creating a portal or active web publishing link
Optionally, choose to manually construct a portal or active web publishing link. The following sections show the syntax for portal or active web publishing links and describe mandatory and optional object IDs.
Links require the object IDs for the objects to which you link. To obtain object IDs for the link, export an object to XML to view the object ID. Metrics Management objects available to reference through a Metrics Management portal link contain the object ID value. The ID is guaranteed to be unique and does not change.
How to obtain the object ID for an object
1 Open the setup tab for an object. For example, choose SetupMaps and open Homepage Map.
2 Choose Export as XML.
3 In Export file, provide an export file name and a location to save the file. Choose Export.
4 Open the XML file in a text editor. Locate the value in the objid parameter. For example, the following line shows the objid value from the Homepage Map XML file:
<Map objid="-1456528854" name="Strategy Map"
directURLId="-1456528854"
Reference_Resolution_Mandatory="TRUE">
