Handler - DirectLinkGenerator
DirectLinkGenerator handler automatically generates a link to the data card where it is used which can be sent to other user e.g. in E-mail. In addition, you can include the handler in a data card with EntityStateMailHandler and AutoMailSenderHandler to attach the link to a service desk reply. In order to access the data card, user must have Efecte-account and be logged in.
With attribute metadata, you specify the base URL for Matrix42 which generates correct link and you can also specify how the data card presents the link. Notice that user must have Matrix42-account and must be logged in to see the contents of the data card. If the link is opened when not logged in, data card is opened after logging in.
DirectLinkGenerator can also be used in mails: AutoMailSender, EntityStateMail and Events
