Close browser tab when button is clicked

[Servicenow Use4]

Hello everyone!

I have a form button called 'Close'. My requirement is as follows: When the button is clicked, the browser tab should be closed. What scripting should be done for this in the UI Action, can anyone help me with this please?

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

I used the following code in the UI Action script:

GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy();

it redirected me to the previous page in the same tab. How should I simply close that tab?

Hi,

please use client side UI action

OnClick: closeWindow();

this script should work fine

Script:

function closeWindow(){

window.open('','_self').close();

}
