Hello, 

I’ve been trying to find some literature on the difference between Copy Link and Copy Data Link and the practical use of the latter. I understand Copy Link can be shared with another user (as long as they have the right permissions) to share your search. 

What is the function of Copy Data Link?

Best answer by Rifki Razick

Hi,

  • Copy Link is a link to the user interface (web page) that displays the data.
  • Copy Data Link is the URL of the REST API that is called by the web page under the hood to fetch the data 

Copy Data Link will be helpful if you want to build some client (e.g. PowerApp) on the outside or an integration that connects to IFS via REST APIs
