Data and Records
Navigation of Record Type to Interface
sefenez
over 7 years ago
I have a grid which is populated on the user selection which gives out alist of records and when the record is selected it navigates to the record type and in order to navigate back to the Interface with pre selected values by the user.NB. It is the Process start page which means the PM is not triggered until i hit the Action or Related actions.
Is it Possible?

Are you asking is it possible to navigate from a process start form to a record without losing selected values on your process start form?

@rohann I just tested that scenario and I don't believe it will work as straightforwardly as you would like. Instead, you can try one of the following:
1. Make the recordLink use a!safeLink() so that the record opens up in a new tab.
2. If #1 isn't a viable solution, try making the recordLink a dynamicLink that will capture an identifier of some sort to populate a separate section on your process form with a view of the record you want the user to navigate to.
3.Create a pseudo wizard-form where the user clicks on a link, which enables a "Next" button with the next page showing them the summary of the record.
Again, I don't what all the user needs to see from the record, but hopefully one of these solutions is what you're looking for.

I am a fan of suggestion #1 in Reggie's comment above - there are many good uses for opening a record using a!safeLink, and this is one of them.
@sefenez can you confirm whether this solution would be doable for you and whether this matches what you were asking about?

@mschmitt @reginaldm377 thank you for the solutions You are suggesting. i am inclined to Make the recordLink use a!safeLink() so that the record opens up in a new tab. It is doable and nice not losing selected values on my process start form.but opens lots of new tabs tho.

@sefenez I'm glad one of the solutions helped. Solutions #2 & #3 were in an attempt to compensate for the multiple tabs you would create from using solution #1 but the other solutions would be somewhat limited and I think the tradeoff of multiple tabs would be fine.
