First, implement Provide shortened URL for apps‌ if it hasn't been already.

Second, provide the short URL for an item on the Overview page for that item.

Currently,

  • Short URLs are generated/available for certain items but not others. 
  • URLs are generally unwieldy in AGOL, and short URLs represent an efficient way to share URLs for AGOL items.
  • For items where short URLs are generated/available, accessing the short URL is typically unnecessarily cumbersome.

Given that a short URL is a URL, which is a form of unique identifier for the item, it makes sense to make accessing the URL as simple and straightforward as possible.  I propose adding the short URL to the Overview page for an item, but I am open to other ideas that don't make users open items and click on multiple buttons to get a short URL.
