How to redirect on Module Script from Arguments?

calamity · ‎07-31-2017

Hey,

So I created a module and set the link type to "Script (from Arguments:)" When I click the module, it does what it's suppose to and then directs to the background script page. Is there a way for me to redirect it to another page, like the homepage or a table page? Thank you in advance.

Have you thought about using a UI page? It would be pretty simple to embed your server code in a <g:evaluate></g:evaluate> and then redirect from there. Your module would use Arguments (from URL) to call the UI page.

my_ui_page.do

I've done this before to create records and then take them to the parent record that has just been created.

You are welcome. Let me know if you get blocked on this one.

Hi Chuck,

I remember in Eureka we were able to place some client side JavaScript in the module which would change the redirection. It was discontinued in Fuji or Geneva.

I used the UI page method suggested by you and it worked but i wanted to know if there something in Jakarta which is similar to the functionality that we had in Eureka.

HI Ravio,

Not that I'm aware. I don't know the exact reasons why something was removed in Fuji - I strongly suspect it had something to do with scoped applications as that's when they were introduced. If that's the case, then it won't be back in Jakarta. You're welcome to try on a personal developer instance if you like. They're free! https://developer.servicenow.com
