Create a Deep Link to an Event or Session Training Details Page

You can create links to both events' and sessions' training details pages to include in communications to learners about training that is available for registration. Which one you choose depends on your specific needs and requirements. 

  • Link to an event when you want learners to review and select from all of the available sessions.
  • Link to a session when you want learners to register for a specific session.

You can include links to both in the same communication, for example, when you want to provide a link to the event for general information, but also the sessions for ease of registration for a specific date.

For additional information about deep links, visit Cornerstone’s online help.

 

Critical Note:

It is important to tell users of deep links that they should only use the deep link you provide or a go.osu.edu link that points to a deep link. If they do not, the link will not work and administrators and the BuckeyeLearn Support team will receive questions from learners. Never copy and paste a URL from a browser address bar. It will not work.
