How to open a new window using UI action javascript after clicking a button?

[calvinlo]

I have tried to create a UI button and want to open a new window with a url using the button.

It seems that window.open does not work and I notice that there is a function action.setRedirectURL().

Does anyone how to open a new window?

Hi Grant,

to redirect via server-side in a UI Action; please see the following example:

However; redirecting will only forward the end user to another screen in the same browser tab/window.

To redirect the end user to another screen in a new browser tab/window via a UI Action; you'll need to work client-side; please see the following example:

Kind regards,

Stijn

Client : True

Onclick : showValues()

Script :

function showValues() {

var table = g_form.getTableName(); //used to build the table name portion of the URL  

var record = g_form.getUniqueValue(); //used to build the unique ID portion of the URL  

window.open(table + '.do?sys_id=' + record);   /*to open the window in new page*/

}

Hi Amit,

Good Day

Use the URL in the following form and which helps redirect on the same tab / window.

var url = "YOUR INSTANCE NAME/sc_req_item/"+current.sys_id+"/sysparm_view=";

action.setRedirectURL(url);
