Issue with opening multiple sub tabs in workspace client script using g_aw.openRecord

Snehal13

This code is written in workspace client script section of a UI action. This work fine but opens only 1 tab. I want to open 3 tabs.

 

for (var i=0; i<3; i++) {
          var user_query = '^first_name=Anthony';
          g_aw.openRecord("sys_user", "-1", {"query": user_query }); // -1 because it is a new record and no sys id
}

I was finally able to get this to work and open mulitple tabs. Prior to doing so it would open the last tab.  

I had to implement the timeout and call it from the loop instead of nesting it in the loop. It should have worked just fine the way @Ratnakar7 has it outlined but it didnt. 

 

I had to adjust to

 

for (var i =0; i<answer.length; i++){

timeMe(answer[i].table, answer[i].sys_id)

}

function timeMe(table,sysid){

setTimeout(function(){

g_aw.openRecord(table,sysid);

},1000);

}
