Form URL
Remove the portions of the URL as noted below.
Original Form URL is http://www.certain.com/system/profile/form/index.cfm?PKformID=0x1068808abcd.
Remove everything after 'system/' through the x in the PKformID, and then remove the last 4 characters of the PKformID.
If the Form URL is shortened, the result is http://www.certain.com/system/1068808.
Website URL
Remove the portions of the URL as noted below.
The Website URL is shown in segments as follows:
- http://www.certain.com/system
- /profile
- /web/
- index.cfm?PKwebID=0x
- 273677
- 760fg
Remove '/profile' and everything after '/index' through the x in the PKwebID, and then remove the last 4 characters of the PKwebID. Do not remove '/web'.
http://www.certain.com/system/
profile/
web/
index.cfm?PKwebID=0x
2736777
60fg
For example, when shortened, the above URL would appear as: http://www.certain.com/system/web/2736777
Vanity URL
Alternatively, another option is to purchase a vanity URL (i.e., www.myeventname.com) and setup URL forwarding to forward that URL to your Event Website or Form. A URL can typically be purchased for as little as $10/year and often includes the ability to forward to a URL.
Some sites that sell URLs:
- http://www.godaddy.com/
- http://www..com/
- http://www.networksolutions.com/

Jill Rasco Is it possible to shorten a Report URL? I tried using the above, but it didn't work as expected.
Marina O'Mara To shorten a Report url: 1. Remove the portions of the URL as noted below. https://certaindemo.com/user/reports/report.cfm?PKRptID=0x1683417d43&PKevtID=0x365576178 ( https://certaindemo.com/user/reports/report.cfm?PKRptID=0x1683417d43&PKevtID=0x365576178 ) (Remove everything after reports (remove the s at the end of reports) through the x in the last string of the report ID and then remove the last 4 characters of the report ID) This will allow your URL to appear as https://certaindemo.com/user/report/36557 ( https://certaindemo.com/user/report/36557 )
