How to link a catalog item to another catalog item?

You can create a ui macro for this in the platform, and a widget for the service portal. The link will depend on which view you're sending the user to, as if you're trying to send them to a link within the frameset you have to copy the entire catalog > catalog item link address, else it will open outside of the frameset, here's a quick example I pulled out of my PDI by navigating to Catalog and drilling down to a catalog item:

/com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_view.do?v=1&sysparm_id=e56a7ffe41011300964ff05369414ebd&sysparm_link_parent=109f0438c6112276003ae8ac13e7009d&sysparm_catalog=e0d08b13c3330100c8b837659bba8fb4&sysparm_catalog_view=catalog_default&sysparm_view=catalog_default

In a portal widget you'd use something like: 

 <a href='sp?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=[SYS_ID_OF_CATALOG_ITEM]'>Text</a>

This eliminates the need for any instance specific URLs, and sys_ids of catalog items shouldn't be changing between the instances.

Is it possible to create the UI Macro, when variable type is label?

[Ashley Snyder1]

In this case, the variable would be a Macro instead of a Label, and you would include the Label text inside of the Macro/Widget.

Hi Ram Babu,

You can copy paste the link to the another catalog item in the description field of the first catalog item. It will redirect them once they click on the link.
