The URL substitution field allows dynamic URL links that are user-specific to be defined in diagrams. If <USER> appears in a URL link then it will be replaced by whatever text appears in the URL substitution field for a specific user when the user accesses the URL. For example, USER1 has a URL substitution of DEV and USER2 of CON. A diagram URL link is defined as the following:                

http://companyx/example/list.asp&dept=<USER>&view=1                

When USER1 launches the URL they will be directed to http://companyx/example/list.asp&dept=DEV&view=1.                

When USER2 launches the URL they will be directed to http://companyx/example/list.asp&dept=CON&view=1.
