URLs in macros
...
| Priority given | URL type | Description |
|---|
| 1 | Application links | If the given URL is linked to a specific application like Bitbucket, GitLab, or GitLab, the macro does not require any user credentials, and processes and renders the given file. Refer to this article for information about application links. |
| 2 | Profiles | If Profile is specified, the macro appends the URL given here with the URL specified in the profile configuration, and accesses the location to render the required file. |
| 3 | Simple URLs | Lastly, if no application links or profiles were given, the URLs are processed as-is and the required file is rendered. |
...
| Note |
|---|
- Here, the profile is to be linked with GitLab and the base URL of the application is taken automatically in the URL field. This URL is editable and can be changed according to your requirement.
- In the given screenshot, an Access token is provided whereas the User and Password parameters are left empty. This is because the access token works almost like a direct link to the specified URL and thus, does not require user credentials. See the profile configuration documentation for more information about access tokens.
- See the Additional links section for more information about profile creation.
