Is there a possibility to Redirect URL from one table to another table in Mobile interface?

[vineetk]

Hello Everyone,

I am facing an issue, I want to redirect URL from one table to another table in Mobile interface.

For example I am trying something like this...

I have list of Approvals from "sysapproval_approver" table in Mobile interface under "My Approvals".

Now, I have created List Buttons to open the records in form view.

Issue is: List of records i.e. RITM's are under "sysapproval_approver" table which has URL something like this:

https://<instance-name>/$m.do#/list/sysapproval_approver/<query>

And I am trying to Redirect it to following URL using action.setRedirectURL(url);

url is used as shown: https://<instance-name>/$m.do#/form/sc_req_item/current.sys_id

Now when I click on button it redirects me to new window but without any data, i.e.its Blank.

Please suggest on same.

Thank You!

Hi Vineet, to which table is your UI Action associated to?

Hi Berny,

My UI Action is associated to "sysapproval_approver" table.

And I want it to redirect it to "sc_req_item" table URL using the UI action.

Thank You

Hi Vineet,

Your UI action script should then be something like the following:

var url = "https://<instance-name>/$m.do#/form/sc_req_item/" + current.sysapproval;



action.setRedirectURL(url);

Thanks,

Perhaps to provide some further explanation/suggestions:

a) since the table on which your UI action exist is sysapproval_approver, then the context of current is the current sysapproval_approver record. By pointing to the sysapproval you will be able to reference the sc_req_item the approval is for.

b) It's important to highlight that the prior code would only work for approvals for the sc_req_item table. Depending on what you're looking for you could either add a condition so that UI action is only displayed when the record on the sysapproval relates to a sc_req_item or make a small tweak to the previously shared script to make the table name flexible to the one the approval record is for.

Thanks,

Berny

Hi Vineet Kumar, actually, try this code. Disclaimer: It would work for any type of record which needs an approval.

var url = "https://<instance-name>/$m.do#/form/" + sysapproval.sys_class_name + "/" + current.sysapproval;

action.setRedirectURL(url);

This is possible since through the sys_class_name we can refer to the type of table that the reference sysapproval is of.

I hope all this has been helpful . Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Berny
