Launching Lucity Applications from another application

While not directly related to the Lucity REST APIs, launching the Lucity desktop or the Lucity Web applications to display a specified record or filter is a common need.

Launching the Lucity Web Application using a URL

The following information is required to open the web software:

• lucityWebUrl:  This is the url to the Lucity Web application
• moduleId: This is the module Id for the module you want to open.  A comprehensive list of module Ids is available in the KeyId field of the Modules table in the GBAUser database. The module Id for work orders is 48.
• filterString: This is the filter string for the module you want to open.  For example, to open work order 1212 the string would be WKORDER WHERE WO_ID = 1212
• tabName: This is a simple string that describes what you are showing.  It is the tab name that is used when displaying the data to the user. 

This is the url:

[lucityWebUrl]/Public/Routing.aspx?RouteTarget=Internal&RouteSubTarget=Views&RouteAction=OpenDefault&RouteParam1=[moduleId]&RouteParam2=[tabName]&RouteParam3=[filterString]

(*note that the above URL is not shown encoded.  You may want to encode the URL)

 Example usage that opens work orders to a work order Id of 1212
