Public Redirect URLs
The following published URLs will not change over time and will be supported indefinitely.
Note that these URLs do not provide for authentication. That is, you cannot specify username/password as part of the request. Instead, upon the first request to a URL, the user will be redirected to the standard login screen. Upon successful login, the user will then be automatically redirected to the requested page.
All URLs must begin with the path to the server (i.e. "https://www.trackabout.com"), so this is omitted below.
Any special characters or spaces in the querystring portion of the URL must be properly url-encoded. For reference, see http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/ref_urlencode.asp
For example, replace a plus sign "+" with "%2B". So 12300+12345 becomes 12300%2B12345.
These URLs are implemented as regular-expression-based URL redirects, so there are no ?, & or = characters.
Asset URLs
| URL | Redirects To |
|---|---|
| /barcode/(a barcode) | The Asset Search results page, or directly to Asset History page if only one match is found. |
Customer URLs
These all work with either /cust or /customer. We will show /customer in all examples below. Be sure to use the full customer number.
If you are using TECSYS and the link is to a ship-to, then include the full customer+ship-to number. Be sure to url encode the plus sign with %2B. So the customer ID 12300+12345 becomes 12300%2B12345 in the examples below.
| URL | Redirects To |
|---|---|
| /customer/(a customer ID) | Customer Detail page. If more than one match, then redirects to the Customer Search results page. |
| /customer/(a customer ID)/assetlist | Asset List page. If more than one match, then redirects to the Customer Search results page. |
| /customer/(a customer ID)/assetbalance | Asset Balance page. If more than one match, then redirects to the Customer Search results page. |
| /customer/(a customer ID)/rentalbalance | Rental Balance page. If more than one match, then redirects to the Customer Search results page. |
Lot URLs
| URL | Redirects To |
|---|---|
| /lot/(lot #) | Lot Search results page. |
Order/Invoice/Delivery Ticket/Packing Slip/PPS URLs
Some of our customers use the term "invoices", others call them "orders", "packing slips", "delivery tickets", or "PPS". This is the number used by drivers during deliveries.
| URL | Redirects To |
|---|---|
| /invoice/(an invoice #) or /order/(an order #) |
Invoice/Order Search results page, or directly to the invoice/order summary page if only one match is found. |
Rental Invoice URLs
These are used to link to TrackAbout generated rental invoices.
| URL | Redirects To |
|---|---|
| /rinvoice/(a rental invoice #) or /rentalinvoice/(a rental invoice #) |
Rental invoice search results page. |
