Parse links

So-called “parse links” can be inserted at various places in Umantis. These links have a kind of “intelligence”, i.e. they can access environment variables and start specific processes in the background. The original functionality of a link (displaying a new page) can be significantly extended with the use of parse links.

Parse link example

A few parse links can be found under Application documents, in the “Applications” subsection. For example, the Directions for applicants is a parse link (https://recruitingapp-[ID].umantis.com/Recruiting/Applications/[ID]/[ID]/Details?ParseLinkID=18) that accesses saved applicant contact information and company address information. When the user clicks on “Directions for applicants” link, these data are automatically entered in the Start and Destination fields of a request for directions from Google Maps, and the appropriate route is then displayed. You can configure this parse link as follows:

• Click on “Applicant Management” > “Applications” and select a specific application.
• Under Application documents, you will find the “Applications” section at the left with multiple parse links.
• Click on Configure view and then on next to the “Directions for applicants” link.
• On the next screen, you will then see the following information:

• Original content — Link template: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=[Empfaenger.PLZ] [Empfaenger.Ort] [Empfaenger.Adresse]&daddr=[Firma. PLZ] [Firma.Ort] [Firma.Adresse]&hl=de
  In this case, the link template already includes all the information (+ variables) needed to request directions:

• Applicant contact information: [Empfaenger.PLZ], [Empfaenger.Ort], [Empfaenger.Adresse]
• Company address: [Firma. PLZ], [Firma.Ort], [Firma.Adresse]

• Original content — Link text: <div class='icon igooglemaps'></div> Directions for applicants
  In this case, the original values show a Google Maps icon and the link text “Directions for applicants”.

Other examples of parse links:

• “Release on network” — This link releases specific personal information on the network, allowing your colleagues to view it.
• “Show address on Google Maps”
• “View XING profile”
• “Search for LinkedIn profile”
• Profile links in the employee file settings (links to the person) which are also displayed as links to the business card once they are released.
• + other user-definable links that can be configured as parse links.

IPM integration provides another example of how parse links can be used.
