Currently, as with all Appian Actions, when one is completed the user is returned to the area they initiated the action from. 
 This makes sense in a number of situations,</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: ** Feature Request - Site Action Navigation **</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/88304?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Nov 2021 19:18:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:b6ecbcfc-4552-4079-9087-c6b5fe4a36e5</guid><dc:creator>Chris</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks Danny - agree Record List Actions could be&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;an alternative&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;for utilizing Site Action pages, as well as a!startProcessLink() can fit the bill in some scenarios.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As Mike illustrates here, configuring Site Actions UX smoothly can be quite convoluted - just throwing this out there as a recommendation for Site Action pages, to limit our work-arounds&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://community.appian.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/1f642.svg" title="Slight smile"&gt;&amp;#x1f642;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thie component allows you to place actions on any interface and open them in a dialog. When the action completes, the dialog closes and your page is still in the same state as before. You can also set local variables to refresh upon action completion. In general, it&amp;#39;s not a UX best practice to keep redirecting users because they&amp;#39;ll lose context of the page they came from.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another thing you can try for more dynamic page links is to use a!reportLink() which will load a report interface while keeping the user on the same site tab. You can rely on the user clicking the site tab to go back or navigating us the browser back button.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
