UI action to open the flow in new tab/window

[Akash Singh2]

Hello,

I am unable to build URL for opening the record specific flow designer in new tab. Basically when i click on ui action on custom form, it should redirect to flow designer execution in new tab.

Have tried with below options but doesnt seem to be working.

g_navigation.openPopup(url);

g_navigation.open(url.getURL(), "_blank");

window.open

kindly suggest any solution to handle this.

Thanks 

Akash

UI action is on which table?

Which flow context you want to open? the context associated to the current record

Hi Ankur,

Ui action is on one custom table. Yes flow context associated with current record.

pls find the code below:

function test(){
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_flow_context');
gr.addQuery('source_record', current.sys_id);
gr.query();
if (gr.next()) {

 var url = '$flow-designer.do?sysparm_nostack=true#/operations/context/' + gr.sys_id.toString();
window.open('url', _blank); ---> does not work
g_navigation.open(url.getURL(), "_blank");----> does not work
action.setRedirectURL(url)----> works but opens in same tab

}}

try this

function test(){
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_flow_context');
gr.addQuery('source_record', g_form.getUniqueValue());
gr.query();
if (gr.next()) {
var url = '$flow-designer.do?sysparm_nostack=true#/operations/context/' + gr.sys_id.toString();
g_navigation.open(url, "_blank");
}
}

Hi,

I tried the above code. But it does not trigger anything on click of UI action on the form.

Thanks
