can Ui action be used to call a ui page?

[surya123]

Hi All,

I have a UI Page(xyz) which invokes a UI Macro to show few buttons on header and carry out buttons functionality.

I have a UI Action created to incident page which shows as a link on the form.

When i click on the link (created by ui action) in the incident page , then i want it to perform what the UI page (xyz) does .[ That is loads a page with header and buttons].

Is it possible   that when I click on the UI Action link, it performs what is being carried out by UI Page.

Please let me know if there is any other approach in which this can be achieved or if this is possible then share the script for same.

Thanks in advance

For example.. I have a ui page named testdriftinformation

here is the code below to get the ui action to load that page in the main window.

sendToNorChange();

function sendToNorChange()

{

//make the url to a new normal change

  var url = 'testdriftinformation.do';

//Redirecting the user to the new url

  action.setRedirectURL(url);

}

Here is a screen shot over the ui action. Remember to not check "client".

Hi Goran,

I am trying to create something similar to like we have in knowledge article. When we click on view article, we get a screen with create incident and flag article button.

Since the screen would be having big texts so need to have it in   complete screen.

Thanks

Then it is "action.setRedirectURL()" you should use.

We have for example a "create normal change" ui action on incidents. It teleports the user to a new normal change form.

sendToNorChange();

function sendToNorChange()

{

//make the url to a new normal change

  var url = 'change_request.do?sys_id=-1&sysparm_query=active^type=Comprehensive&sysparm_stack=change_request_list.do?sysparm_query=active=true';

//Redirecting the user to the new url

  action.setRedirectURL(url);

}
