Linking Directly to a Service Group
You can specify a particular service group in the URL used to connect to the PTC Arbortext Content Delivery application, for example in a bookmark or as a shortcut link from a website to the service group. This bypasses the need for users affiliated with more than one service group to select a service group when accessing PTC Arbortext Content Delivery by automatically binding the user session to the specified service group.
To specify a service group as part of the URL used to launch PTC Arbortext Content Delivery, add ?dealer=service_group_name to the end of the URL. For example, assume that the URL used to launch PTC Arbortext Content Delivery is MyCompany.com:8080/ACD/delivery, and your service group is named MyDealer. The full URL to link directly to the MyDealer service group is: MyCompany.com:8080/ACD/delivery?dealer=MyDealer.
