12. Links

Links allow sharing LUCA elements with other people. There are two types:

  • Internal Links: Allow sharing elements among LUCA users.
  • Public Links: Allow sharing elements with people who do not have a LUCA account.

The link generation window has two clearly defined sections for each type of link. The visibility of the public links section requires the permission Generate public links. Similarly, the Permanent checkbox requires the permission Generate permanent links.

Link Generation Figure 12.1: Link Generation

Title: The title of the element will be used as the tab name when accessing the link and as the filename when exporting. Filters: Shows the current values of the filters for the element. The Include filters in the link checkbox allows these to be modified once the link is accessed. Link options: The internal link has three actions:

  • Generate QR code
  • Go to link
  • Copy link

To activate this section, the appropriate permission is required, and the Public link switch must be toggled on.

Expiration date: The date until the public link will be available. It can be omitted by checking the Permanent checkbox, provided the appropriate permission is held. UUID/Base64 Selector: Determines the type of public link to generate:

  • UUID: Generates a link with a unique identifier. The filters are set according to the initial configuration but can be modified once the link is executed.
  • Base64: Encodes the configuration within the link itself. Allows modifying the filters by directly editing the encoded URL.

Generate: Once the properties are configured, the Generate button will create the public link with the following options:

  • Public link with the same actions as the internal link (QR, go to link, copy)
  • Code to embed the element in a webpage, with a quick copy button

Delete: After the link is generated, the Delete button appears next to the Generate button. It allows deleting the created public link.
