UI Action to redirect from one table to another

[vibee]

Hi, I would like some assistance in creating a UI Action on a custom table I created.

This button needs to save the form on table 1, and then redirect the user to a second/table form.

How would I script/build this?

Hi Vibee,

Please refer below thread and adjust your solution. Let me know if you are blocked.

For reference you can refer UI action "Create Change" on incident form which redirects to change request using action.setRedirectURL

Here is the example that you can refer. Just replace with yourinstance name.

Hi Vibee,

Your script will contain two basic components.

current.update(); // save the current record (from table 1)

action.setRedirectURL(url_to_table_2_record);

The details of that url_to_table_2_record are up to you. It can either be a GlideRecord or a string. For example, if you have a GlideRecord for your other table...

var t2 = new GlideRecord('u_table2');

t2.get(current.u_reference_field_to_table2);

action.setRedirectURL(t2);

The above could also be done like this:

action.setRedirectURL('u_table_2.do?sys_id=' + current.u_reference_field_to_table2);

Or if you want to create a new record on table2, it might look like this:

action.setRedirectURL('u_table2.do?sys_id=-1');

That should give you some ideas. 🙂

I am trying the reDirect, but i'm not sure where I can pull the table name for the Order Guide. I would like it to redirect to a new Order Guide page.

would it be action.setRedirectURL(https://is/com.glideapp.servicecatalog_cat_item_guide_view.do?v=1&sysparm_initial=true&sysparm_guide... );
