How to close upper tab?

[Community Alums]

In this screenshot, there are two sets of tabs, upper and lower.  Is it possible to close the upper tab from within a UI action?  I can only figure out how to close the lower tab.

Hi,

The UI Action would apply the client script to the specific table/record that brought in the UI Action. Then using the follow script (which I'm sure you're using now) is how you'd close it: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/rome-servicenow-platform/page/administer/workspace/task/close-tab...

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!

Hello Allen.
Could you please provide here the example of a script to close a tab on Workspace?
Unfortunately, there is no possible to browse the page under the link that you provided

Hello Dustin.
Could you please share how to close lower and upper tabs on Workspace if you already figured it out?

We can do it by dispatching "SCREEN_STATUS_CHANGED" event with a payload { status: "closed" }

Add a new dispatched event in Body component named "SCREEN_STATUS_CHANGED" and add payload using advanced flag as "status" as string.

On your event handling for the button, add SCREEN_STATUS_CHANGED event with the payload status=closed and save it.

Now when you click on the button, it will close that tab.
