Fix 255: Adding Institute Parameter to Deep Links in Alerts
- Article Type: General

Description:
I noticed that fix 255 enables specifying an institute when directing the user to a link that requires force login. How can I implement this fix with URLs from alert emails?
Resolution:
To implement this, the alert templates must be edited and the correct institute parameter added to the link. A prerequisite to implementing this change is that each institute must use an independent user interface instance.
All changes are made in the file ./insNN/form-<lng>/bor-sdi-02-00. Edit the following two lines, adding the &institute parameter with the appropriate institute code at the end of the line. In the following examples, institute code OPENU was used:
Changes need to be made to the following lines:
$01000/V?func=history-1-search&sequence=$01600&force_login=y&institute=OPENU
and
My Alerts Profile : $01000/V?func=history-1&force_login=y&institute=OPENU
