URL iViews now include two new data types for URL parameters:

●      User Information: accepts a value that corresponds to a logical attribute in the UME (User Management Engine) API.

●      System Information: accepts a value that corresponds to an attribute in the Portal Runtime (PRT) request object.

Before the iView sends a request to its target URL at runtime, the iView first sends a query to the UME or PRT, as defined by the content administrator. The value returned by the query is then integrated on-the-fly into the iView's URL at runtime, instead of the static parameter value.

The parameters are available for editing in the URL iView Editor.
