Is there a way to get shorter URLs to documents from Aurena?

The MS intranet requires less than 250

Not without changing how those URLs are created. If we would replace “Param” with “P”, we would save 4 characters per parameter, but I think that would not be enough. Also, it would break all links that customers have already created. The best thing is if you make a customization for this, that works for you.

By the way, whatever “MS intranet” is doing there is not future proof. Links are getting longer and longer and 250 is a very strange limitation, when the browsers supports thousands or even millions of characters.

In which part of the “MS intranet” exactly is this limit? 
This problem may have a solution on the “MS intranet” side rather than on the Aurena side.
But it is better to create a post here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/ct-p/SharePoint
Or you can send me a private message :-)

Thank you for the replies, I retst my case :) I agree that this limitation is in SharePoint, and if overall, URLs do not have limitation on character then this is not an IFS problem. I will look at some of the workarounds I have found on SharePoint forums. 

Thanx, Dan
