Hello Anil,

I want to open item in same tab so i have given target as "within catalog". Still item is opening in new tab.

Hi,

This is OOB behavior for all External contents and it will always open the content in new Window.

This behavior is hardcoded in the widget 'SC Category Page'. 

If you want to change this behavior then you need to clone OOb widget and modify it and replace custom widget in the 'sc_category' portal page.

Thanks,

Hello Lande,

Whatever you mentioned is correct. We need to clone the widget and make some changes. I am just wondering then what "within catalog" option will do.

As per documentation i found below

• Within Catalog: displays the content within the catalog iframe window (which may not render some external websites properly).
• New Window/Tab: displays the content in a new browser window or tab. Choose this option if the content does not display properly within the catalog.

Thanks

Hi Akash,

I guess documentation refers to native UI view not service portal.

If you try that in native UI in Service Catalogs then you will get the behavior what you are expecting. As documentation says external URL's will not work in Service Catalog home page.
