ShortUrl (Short Url, Tiny Links)
by APPS 365 LTD
Shorten Urls! Short URL allows the creation of vanity and shortcut hyperlinks within SharePoint.
The SharePoint Short URL Add-in makes sharing information simple by allowing you to create Short links to any content from within SharePoint!
For example, compare the following hyperlink to a folder in a document library:
https://apps365ltd.sharepoint.com/TestUrl/SharedDocuments/Company Documents/Documents/SharePointShortUrl_APP_About.docx
When you use the SharePoint Short URL Add-in it can also be shortened to:
https://surl.link/kWe7fR
SharePoint Short URL provides you with a choice of sensible, secure domain names from which to create Short URL’s. You are able to define which domain is used as the default within your SharePoint environment and each of these separate domains will also work for any Short URL created against the default instance. Thus, you can share any of the domains with your Short URL and they will work!
SharePoint Short URL Add-in Domains: https://surl.link | https://surl.ms | https://officeurl.com | https://sharepointurl.com
With the SharePoint Short URL Add-in you can create Short URL’s directly from the Ribbon Menu and/or any List/Library Items Context Menu. If a Short URL has already been created, you can instantly copy to the clipboard, email the link directly (the link will be opened in your email client), Share via QR Code and other Social Sharing options. Short URL’s are stored in a regular SharePoint List (named ‘ShortUrl’) that is located in each Site that the SharePoint Short URL is installed. All Short URL’s are processed on our Secure Servers, meaning we handle the resource load externally from SharePoint.
