HCL Connections Ideas Portal
Welcome to the HCL Connections Product Ideas Lab! The place where you can submit product ideas and enhancement request. We encourage you to participate by voting on, commenting on, and creating new ideas. All new ideas will be evaluated by the HCL Product Management & Engineering teams, and the next steps will be communicated. While not all submitted ideas will be executed upon, community feedback will play a key role in influencing which ideas are and when they will be implemented.
For more information and upcoming events, please visit our HCL Connections page.
Good suggestion, but I suppose that this will require a link shortener that is internal and unique to the company? I love Bitly, but it's outside the firewall. But in this case it would be similar to using Google Translate for sensitive intellectual capital.
We have to create individual shortlinks with something like ibm.biz or bit.ly and we know serviced like YouTube can manage things like youtu.be so perhaps Connections could create a conn.ect/... alternative?
All URL's in connections are extremely long... we have overcome this for communities by creating a redirect to the "community short URL"(which is still to long).
Our redirect allows users to use this shorter URL community.domain.com\communityname
however there is still a need to provide deep links that use a shortened url for content items like wiki pages, files,blogs,library content and forum entries
for example:
community.domain.com\communityname\location of content item\GUID of Content Item
community.domain.com\KOL\wiki\Wa6c939734130_42b9_b11d_99d11c3379e9
+1000 - the URLS are ridiculously long, and making friendlier URLs - or at least shorter ones, would be more than a small nice-to-have.
