OrientDig Mobile Link Checks
Learn how to check OrientDig mobile links, verify cross-device compatibility, and avoid mobile-only link issues during research.
What Are Mobile Links?
Mobile links are product URLs formatted specifically for mobile devices and the OrientDig mobile app. They may use mobile-specific URL structures, shorter formats, or app deep-link formats. Mobile links may not display correctly on desktop browsers. Some mobile links redirect to an app download page or a mobile-optimized version that lacks full product information when opened on desktop.
Why Mobile Link Checks Matter
Many researchers browse spreadsheets on desktop but want to access product pages on mobile devices. A link that works on desktop may not work on mobile, and vice versa. Checking links on both platforms ensures you can access product references from any device. This is particularly important when you plan to compare products in person using your phone.
How to Test Mobile Links
Test links by opening them on both a desktop browser and a mobile device. On desktop, check that the product page displays fully with all information accessible. On mobile, check that the page loads properly, navigation works, and product details are visible. If a link only works on one platform, note this limitation in your research records.
Converting Mobile Links to Desktop Format
Some mobile links can be converted to desktop format by modifying the URL. Common conversions include removing mobile-specific prefixes or changing platform identifiers. However, not all mobile links have desktop equivalents. If conversion does not work, you may need to find the product through search or an alternative spreadsheet reference.
App Deep Links
Some links are designed to open directly in the OrientDig mobile app. These deep links may not work in regular browsers at all. If a link appears to be an app deep link, you may need to install the OrientDig app to access the product. Note deep links separately in your research records, as they require specific access methods.
