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,

since you said you are using gsftSubmit it means that UI action is Client + Server

In that case you cannot open in new tab from server side. I already told this above.

@Ankur Bawiskar Commenting the gsftSubmit and using only url and g_navigation.open(url,'_blank') still not working

Hi @Balaraju KB 

You can try this

var url = "https://abc.com";
g_navigation.openPopup(url, '_blank');

 

Mark as correct and helpful if it solved your query.
