FAQPage Schema

How do I implement custom routing in the Umbraco backoffice?▼

Implement Umbraco backoffice routing by defining section, dashboard, and custom element paths using `umb-router-slot` and `UmbRoute` definitions. This enables URL-based navigation and deep-linking to specific views within the CMS.

How does URL-based navigation work for Umbraco CMS sections?▼

Umbraco CMS navigation uses pathnames to route users between sections and dashboards. By configuring `UmbRoute` definitions, you establish unique URLs that map directly to custom elements and views.

Can I use route parameters and redirects for Umbraco dashboards?▼

Yes, Umbraco dashboards support dynamic routing with parameters and redirects. You can configure `UmbRoute` definitions to pass route parameters and redirect users seamlessly between custom backoffice views.

What is the best way to set up deep-linking for custom elements in Umbraco?▼

Set up deep-linking in Umbraco by leveraging the `umb-router-slot` to handle pathnames for custom elements. This approach binds specific URLs to your views, making them directly accessible and shareable.

When do I need to define UmbRoute paths for an Umbraco section?▼

Define `UmbRoute` paths when creating a new Umbraco section requiring multiple views. It provides the foundational routing structure needed to ensure each view is accessible via a unique URL pathname.

Are there limitations to using umb-router-slot for backoffice navigation?▼

The `umb-router-slot` handles foundational backoffice navigation, but complex routing scenarios may require additional custom logic beyond basic pathnames, parameters, and redirects.
