Many iParts allow you to change the content they display based on the value of a URL parameter. This gives you the freedom to create a single content record that can display different content based on a value in the link. For example, instead of creating a new content record for every event, you can reuse a single content record that displays different event information based on the EventKey value in the URL.
Parameter values are passed to iParts from several types of sources:
■ Search result links
■ IQA query links
■ Navigation items
■ Relative links
■ Absolute links
Tips:
■ For any iPart that allows URL parameters to be passed, see the configuration help or Helpsite section for detailed instructions.
■ If multiple values are sent to a page for a single URL parameter, only the first parameter value is recognized by the system. For example, if the URL pointing to the Event Display iPart is http://myorg/Events/Event_Display.aspx?EventKey=SPR12&EventKey=FALL12, then only the SPR12 event is displayed.
■ URL parameters set by navigation items cannot be manually overridden in the URL. A user cannot change the parameter value in the URL to display different content.
