Hello Experts, 

I have a UI action "Create Story" in Incident form. I want to open that in new window as of now it is opening in the same window. Please advise.

Apologies I haven't read your problem statement.

Yes for achieving the new tab functionality, you need to make the UI action as "client" and it is not possible in server side scripting.

and make a GlideAjax call, to server side and after inserting the record into the table please return the sys_id from server's end.

var url = "/rm_story.do?sys_id=" + answer)

 g_navigation.openPopup(url)

Hi Prince , Yes that is helpful! One more thing please . Do I need to write new UI action for Client side ? or this(Old server side one) can be converted to Client side ?

@Prashant Singh1 ,

This can be converted, please check the checkbox of client and follow the instructions as mentioned in below screenshot:

and please move your gliderecord's code in the script include and make a string from the server's end and return.
