Salsa Weekly Highlight: User-friendly short URLs

by Leslie Hall

Greetings!

It's the "Salsa Weekly Highlight," your quick hit on what's new in Salsa to help get the most out of your online program. As always, you can find plenty more news, updates, and conversation throughout the week on SalsaCommons.org.

I've got a great little feature to share with you this week to give your pages more user-friendly web address URLs ... like

/o/9999/signup_page/join-us

Instead of

/o/9999/p/salsa/web/common/public/signup?signup_page_KEY=9999

As of yesterday, you should have started seeing this new feature available in all your Salsa-built pages, in the floating yellow box where you can also switch the page's template.

You probably know that we on the Salsa team create many different built-in system reports. Up until now, to access those reports, it's been necessary to drop them onto your dashboard.

But I'm pleased to, ah, report that we've simplified the process of browsing and using those reports.

It's the "Salsa Weekly Highlight," your quick hit on what's what in Salsa to help get the most out of your online program. As always, you can find plenty more news, updates, and conversation throughout the week on SalsaCommons.org.

This week, I just wanted to remind you to avoid copying and pasting from Microsoft Word into Salsa (and probably into most any other online design tool you might use).

I know, I know. It looks like it should work. Lay out page in familiar Word interface, copy, paste it into web page or email blast. Easy, right?

Unfortunately, appearances are deceiving in this case.

Just bang one out and embed it as easily as ... well, as easily as this explanatory video.

Last week, I shared highlighted Salsa's ability to automatically email you query results on a regular schedule.

This week, we'll take a look at that exact same feature in reports.

Just as with queries, for reports you need to execute regularly, you can let Salsa do the work for you by scheduling them to run automatically.
