Is there a recommended way to redirect a user to a Record Dashboard after they complete an Action that creates a record? I'm hoping there is something that can be intuitive.

In the old interface, you could configure a process model launcher to redirect to the process dashboard....

Hi Jason,
Yes you can either make use of urlforeecord function or a!recordLink component in link component , upon clicking on which user will be directed to the respective record dashboard.
PS: If your record is a process backed, you need to pass process instance id in the above functions or if its entity backed, you need to have primary key of the tuple of the source table.
Hope it answers your query!

The issue is, we would need to show the user the link to click on a form (which then wouldn't get submitted unless we have an exception flow on a timer). It would be preferable to have the redirect happen automatically, or without the user clicking on a link.

We have discussed this internally on our team. While providing a link on a task seems to be the only work-around to the issue, we strongly desire an enhancement to the product that allows us to automatically re-direct a user to a record dashboard after completing an Action.

I second this and would like to add that, when this is implemented in the product, it would be helpful to make the redirect URL as dynamic (in my use case, actions menu OR a particular action)

Hello Patty Isecke has this been implemented in the latest version of Appian? I searched the documentation and didn't find anything.
