Feature Request - adding a Shareable URL which includes both the search parameters and the current results parameters for sharing data to outside users #7842

Open campmlc opened 1 month ago

Request to be able to save and download search results with the customized search and results settings as selected by the user. We need to be able to share not only the records themselves but also the various search and results fields and parameters for a customized query. This is related to TPT grant funding.

Currently the shareble URL for a search only passes the search parameters and the results table does not reflect the fields that the user is viewing or wants to share. This is new type of shareble URL that includes results fields. Not sure of the technical requirements for this but has a lot of value for sharing data broadly

FYI, if you have a "preset" set up the sharable URL includes both the data and the results layout. See for example this search:

And sharable URL

This is now THE way I share all customized searches researchers & members of the general public request from me. Otherwise I have to tell them how to customize the results to see the media!

I just tested this realized that is the case, thanks @AJLinn ! I was using a preset but tweaking some of the results columns using customize, and it wasn't saving those added parameters with the shareable url.

So my request would be to allow any selected customized search and results fields to be included in the Shareable URL. This way we wouldn't have to create a separate profile for every customized search and results download.
