How do you link to another page on an SP widget?

[Joey Wan Kenobi]

I am trying to set up a widget where there is a button/link at the bottom that will bring the user to another page.

I've seen this in a standard angular app, but I am having trouble understanding how to do it within the confines of SN.

The first page (the home page) contains a list of incidents. I want to have a button that will bring the user to a different list. Perhaps i don't need to load a new page, but the ability to load a new widget. Either way, Id like for the user to simply see the list change (the other list will have some functionality built into it which is why i was going the route of a new page/widget).

Any help would be appreciated.

If you see the OOB Simple List widget, you will understand how the URL is constructed in Server Script, and in controller it is redirected using $location.

If the location/page where you need to redirect is fixed you can directly embed it in HTML code as this:

<a id="my_button" class="button" type="button" ng-click = testMe() ng-href="https://dev24859.service-now.com/csm?id=csm_ess_view">New Page

  </a>

In order to give the user an experience that he is not actually being redirected to a new page, keep the structure of target and source page common. Look at the below example,   I am just redirecting from one of the widgets and keeping few widgets common, this would prevent a page redirection experience.

Hope you get the idea.

Interesting. I had the button go to a fixed link (another sp page). it doesn't seem as responsive. That might be because the second page loads a lot of data though.

Also, I found that the pages dont seem to be linked in this way.

On Page 1 it shows "Home > Page 1"

On Page 2 it shows "Home > Page 2"

Ideally, I'd like to have

On Page 1 "Home"

On Page 2 "Home > Page 2"
