UI action to redirect to new tab URL

[JJG]

Hello, 

I have a UI action that redirects to a URL in a new tab, but it does not seem to be working. When I click it, nothing happens, is my code wrong? I want the sys_id of the current record to be attached to the end of the new tab URL. (See pics below)

I tried this:

function openwin(){
window.open('www.google.com');
}

still nothing happens

Looks like that may be a scoped application, last I knew "window" was not available in scoped applications but this was a while ago.  

Does g_navigation.openPopup(url) work for you instead of window.open?

Ah, yea. Scoped app.

Your suggestion should work then.

It will open in a new tab except when I try to add the sysID variable at the end of the URL. Any idea why this is?

function openwin(){
var sysID=getUniqueValue();
var url='https://<instance name>.service-now.com/sp?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=4d7fde5ddb1e00107e137d5e0f9619bc&sysID='+sysID;
g_navigation.openPopup(url);
}

Nevermind, solved it:

function openwin(){
var sysID=g_form.getUniqueValue();
var url='https://<instancename>.service-now.com/sp?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=4d7fde5ddb1e00107e137d5e0f9619bc&sysID='+sysID;
g_navigation.openPopup(url);
}

Thank you!!
