UI Action to redirect from one table to another

vibee · ‎07-04-2016

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,

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. 🙂
