Getting Started: Creating an Internal POI Link

Create a web link in the CMS POI content editor by choosing the 'Link' button:

In the ensuing 'Link' popup box, set the URL to a special internal format as described below this screenshot:

The special internal URL format is:

• www.driftscape.com/mobileappdeeplink?driftscape_action=open_feature&driftscape_feature_uuid=[feature id]

• Replace the [feature id] portion of the above URL with the Feature ID of the POI you want to link to. 

• This Feature ID is displayed in the CMS in the Content view under the ‘Ref #’ column..... 

.... or in the URL once you edit a POI:

Here is an example of the URL to use for the above POI:

• www.driftscape.com/mobileappdeeplink?driftscape_action=open_feature&driftscape_feature_uuid=203947

• When the link is clicked in the mobile app, it will close this POI view and open the linked POI.

Creating Internal Links within a Specific Sub-layer

Similar to the process above, you can create internal links to direct visitors to content within a specific Sub-layer. Here's how:

Start by editing the above-shared URL parameters to: www.driftscape.com/mobileappdeeplink?driftscape_action=select_org&driftscape_org_id=[org id]

Replace the [org id] with the org id of the layer you want to link to. This is displayed in CMS in the Content view under the ‘ID’ column:

Here is an example of the URL to use for the above POI:

• www.driftscape.com/mobileappdeeplink?driftscape_action=select_org&driftscape_org_id=2401

When the link is clicked in the mobile app, it opens the linked layer and shows all the POIs mapped within it.

Note: Org level internal links are supported only in the mobile app and will not work in the Web app.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Internal POI linking is not supported with social media shares. If you use our social media share links or users share Driftscape content through Twitter, Facebook, or email, the browser view of the POI content does not support internal POI links. In that case, internal POI links will display, but clicking the link will result in an error.
