INTRODUCTION
It is very common for customers to look for options to improve the user experience through deep links, which are nothing more than hyperlinks that lead directly to a specific page in the SAP SuccessFactors system, but for many customers, the creation/definition of the deep link still causes a little discomfort or dedication of time that is increasingly scarce. Because of that, we've put examples in this blog that can be used as a starting point for those who want to better explore the possibilities of deep links to Employee Central processes/portlets.
