urlForRecord function for Sites

Question

Hi All,

urlForRecord function can be used to navigate to a record dashboard directly by passing the recordID. Do we have something similar for records which are part of Sites. For example, I want to divert a user from an external portal to a specific record dashboard on Appian site once authentication is done.

Thanks.
Hitesh

I know this an old post but I encountered the issue recently and this expression have worked for me

{
a!safeLink(
label: "",
uri: fn!substitute(
fn!urlforrecord(
recordtype: <your record>,
recordIds: <recordid>
),
rule!APN_getSiteUrl()& "tempo/records/item/",
rule!APN_getSiteUrl() & "sites/<site name>/page/program-dashboard/record/"
)

)
}

using this expression in record link solved my problem as it allows the summary view to open in a new window preserving my filters selected in the current window.

Hi, You can use a!recordLink a!recordLink( label: , recordType: , identifier: )

You can do this by building a URL dynamically: fn!load( local!siteURL: rule!APN_getSiteUrl(), /*Get identifier of record*/ local!recordIdentifier: a!recordLink( recordType: , identifier: ).@attributes.@anyAttribute._recordRef, /*Build the site record url*/ local!finalSiteURL: fn!concat( local!siteURL, "sites/", , "/page/", , "/record/", local!recordIdentifier, "/view/", rule!APN_replaceNull( nullableValue: , replacementValue:"summary" ) ), /*Get the site record url*/ local!finalSiteURL )
