Sharing the URL for a Section
You can share a particular view that you currently have open in Horizons with another user. This is known as deep linking. You can use deep linking as a way of recording a view of a selected Section and the currently active data associated with it.
The deep link remembers the following information about the view:
- The Section that is selected
- Any Layers that are turned on
- The background mapping
When you or another user pastes the URL into a browser, you or they will need to login to Horizons before accessing the data. So deep linking is completely secure.
To share the URL for a Section:
- In Explorer, select the Section and Layers to share.
- Click the URL icon. The unique web address is highlighted.
- Copy the URL and paste it into a browser at a later date. Or share the URL with another user to recreate the same view.
