Display a Curated Collection of Documents

This feature is especially handy if you want to refer to documents that span more than one topic and/ or KB site. You can control the exact list of documents that the end user will see. In this example, we reference a collection of documents to which we have permissions to access. 

1. Open your KB site web page, enter the document ID numbers into the search field and click the Search button.
   
   The image below shows a specific list of comma delimited documents in the live site search field.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. After clicking on the Search button, the exact documents you have specified will appear in a table.
   
   The image below displays the four documents requested in the Search field.
   
   

Managing the longer URL

A long url will appear in your browser's address/search bar.

The image below shows the long and unweildy URL of :

https://kb.wisc.edu/demo/internal/search.php?q=8531%2C+20690%2C+24015%2C+11800%2C+5245&cat=0&aud=0

• goUW would yield the shorter url, http://go.wisc.edu/6e83z9 (requires NetID or Wisconsin Federation login).
• TinyURL would yield a shorter url, https://tinyurl.com/pw9t6zw9 (free service open to all)
• You can also strip away the text between the document IDs in the URL, %2@C+, and replace it with a comma. This cleaned up url can be used for distribution.
