Application Links

The Application Links feature lets you to create dynamic links that integrate Nectari with external web applications. Links can include context-sensitive values using Global Parameters and Global Variables.

Use Application Links to help users jump from Nectari to specific records or search pages in other systems, with the appropriate values filled in automatically.

  • Connecting systems seamlessly: Direct users from Nectari to a specific location or record in another application with a single click.
  • Passing dynamic values: Populate external links with parameters or variables that reflect user selections or context.
  1. From the navigation panel, click the gear icon. The Administration page opens.
  2. Select Application Links from the sidebar.
  3. Click Add New Record.
  4. Enter a descriptive name. This name appears in the Link To dialog for users.
  5. Enter or paste your link in the Link box.
  6. Drag and drop Global Parameters and Global Variables from the left panel into the Link box to include dynamic values.
    Move the inserted code to the correct place in the link.
  7. Click Create.

tip

Dragged parameters or variables appear at the end of the link. Cut and paste them as needed to the correct location in your URL.

Add parameters and variables​

An application link is a URL that you can make dynamic by including parameters or variables.

TypeDescription
Global ParametersStarts with @ and ends with ;. It retrieves the current value of parameter such as a selected product or date.
Global VariablesStarts with @@ and uses predefined variable values.

Example​

To build a link that opens a specific product in Sage X3, start with the URL template from Sage X3. Replace the static product code with the Product global parameter so the link always targets the correct product.

http://SAGE-X3-SERVER/syracuse-main/html/main.html?representation=ITMASTER.$details&product=@Product;

In this example, @Product; is replaced at runtime with the selected product code.

You can apply this approach to other Sage X3 entities, such as customers, invoices, or orders, by replacing the relevant part of the URL with the appropriate parameter.
