Using Cards to Open Record List View Within Same Site and Window

We have an application with three record types (Accounts, Items, Manager Groupings). 

Ideally we would dedicate a Site tab to each view but the 5-tab limitation inhibits that.  Therefore, we use one "Records" tab to access all three records where the user chooses from one card for each record type.  Currently that open up a separate browser window and a separate Site where each record list view is on it's own site tab.  In an ideal world the card would open up the record list view within the existing window and Site where the card is clicked.

Has anyone accomplished this successfully?  Would love to see how you did it.

  • I'd hazard a guess that no-one has achieved this as a Site's tab is 'concreted' to a given type of content at design-time. You could (!) roll your own record-list by fetching the data (using a Query Entity) and rendering a list of the data with links to the individual records. Yes, you'd have to create your own custom filters, paging etc etc but you would have full control over what type of list is displayed when a specific card is selected.

    A 'Record List' component (which would address your use case) is in the Appian road-map but currently (as of 19.4) not available.
