How do you call a redirect on a Service Portal widget from the server side?

[forrestfalk]

I am trying to call a page redirect from the server side after I insert a record from a service portal widget. I want to pass back the sys_id I get from creating the record on the server side to the client side and redirect the users to the new URL. Right now I am storing the sys_id in the data.sys_id object. I am having issues on calling a client side function or detecting when the data.sys_id variables changes. I'm probably missing something simple, but any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Forrest

Can you move your new “if” block inside the server.update().then Area? That part is what gets called asynchronously after your server script saves the record. I would put it right after spUtil.update($scope);

Hi Jon!

Thanks for the response! You're recommendation worked perfectly! Know I understand that the .then is the callback function for the server update. 

Thanks,

Client Script

//Save all the data on the bundle
	$scope.saveRecord = function(){
		$scope.data.save_button_value = 'true';
		//Set the input variables
		$scope.data.short_description = $scope.short_description;
		$scope.data.description = $scope.description;
		$scope.data.name = $scope.name;
		$scope.data.vendor_part_number = $scope.vendor_part_number;
		$scope.data.price = $scope.price;
		
		//Send the inputs to the server
		$scope.server.update().then(function(response) { 
        
                   spUtil.update($scope);    
	           //redirect to new bundle
		   var srch = $location.search();
		   srch.id = "bundle";
		   srch.sys_id = $scope.data.sys_id;
		   $location.search(srch);
    });
};
