About Routes

Routes are configurable URLs that determine a destination web page from a hyperlink or interface control.

For example, when an alert is generated, a link is provided for you to access the alert in APM. The URL path that you provide when you create the route is the destination page of that link.

You can also create a new route for a custom Help application.
