Hi,

if the UI action is server side -> then cannot be done

If the UI action is client side -> use this

g_navigation.open(url, '_blank');

Hi,

I already mentioned above that for server side it won't work

For client side I shared the line

I checked Client checkbox and script as follows:

function a(){

gsftSubmit(null,g_form.getFormElement(),'using action_name here');

}

if(typeof window == 'undefined'){

b

}

function b(){

var url = 'abcd.com';

g_navigation.open(url,'_blank');

}
