In the context of Gateway workflows, endpoints are URLs that act as access points for specific pages and workflows in a Gateway instance. You can access these endpoints in a web browser.

The full endpoint consists of the IP address or FQDN of the URL of the Gateway instance (including the http:// or https:// prefix) followed by the rest of the endpoint. For example, the following endpoint displays the Workflows page.

<Gateway URL>/index

Each workflow available in the Navigator has its own endpoint. Workflow developers can specify the endpoint URL they want to use when building a custom workflow. Regardless, Gateway instances always have the following HTTP endpoints avalable:

Endpoint Description 
/
or 
/home

Displays the current user's configured landing page, as specified by their user group's landing_page setting. By default, this is the Workflows (index) page. To get to the landing page, users can click the Gateway button on the header or Home in the navigator. (The Home button appears only if a landing page is configured for the current user's user group.)

For more details on changing the landing page for a user group, see Configuring Gateway user groups.

 
/index

Displays the Workflows page with a list of links provided by all workflows on that Gateway instance. Typically, this appears as a page of tiles with available actions for that Gateway instance.

  • To access a text list of Administrative workflows only (which implement core Gateway functionality), at the bottom of the navigator on the left side of the screen, click Settings, then click the page that you want to go to.

  • To access a text list of Custom workflows only (including adaptive apps or plugins), in the navigator on the left side of the screen, click Custom Workflows, then click the page that you want to go to.
