Resource URLs with Dynamic Content from Records

For requests for resources from a Sierra or WebPAC origin, the dynamic content needed to construct the resource URL is contained in the displayed record.

To construct the resource URL with dynamic content:

1. Identify the record fields required by the resource URL.
2. Create field selectors.
3. Construct a resource URL, using #@<FIELDSELECTOR># where the dynamic content is required.

For example:

http://www.vendor.com/cgi-bin/query?q=#@TITLE#

In this example, the TITLE field of the displayed record is inserted into the URL by the WebBridge resolution server before the resource hyperlink is displayed in the origin. When the user clicks the resource hyperlink, www.vendor.com is searched for TITLE and the result displays to the user.

See WebBridge Link Syntax for the "link to" URL syntax of many resources that have been tested with WebBridge.
