The following guidelines apply to the creation of DocPop URLs. For more information about URL creation and syntax, see the Configuration chapter of the DocPop, PDFPop, or FolderPop reference guide.
-
Use the URL Creator page to generate an initial URL to start with custom processing.
-
DocPop's URL Creator page is located here: [dmsVirtualRoot]/DocPop/DocPopURLCreator.aspx
-
FolderPop's URL Creator page is located here: [dmsVirtualRoot]/FolderPop/FolderPopURLCreator.aspx

- If you are questioning how to construct a URL, refer to the URL Creator page. By generating URLs using your specified criteria, the URL Creator page can help illustrate the correct syntax for DocPop URLs.
- Limit the length of the DocPop URL so that it does not exceed browser constraints. Browsers allow a limited number of characters in a URL. In Internet Explorer, the maximum URL length is 2083 characters.
- If the URL will exceed 2083 characters, use an HTML form to post the query to DocPop. HTML forms allow more data to be posted back as part of a query. For information about using HTML forms, see Configuration chapter in the DocPop, PDFPop, or FolderPop reference guide.
- When retrieving documents from a large number of Document Types, configure a Custom Query in OnBase to search those Document Types. Then, configure a DocPop URL to retrieve the documents using the Custom Query. This practice removes the Document Type names from the URL, helping to reduce the URL's length.
