We have two pages in our application (version 6.7.1) that have a single web page

gpolk over 10 years ago

We have two pages in our application (version 6.7.1) that have a single web page channel on each page. We are converting our application to version 7.5. We have decided that these two pages should be actions and that when the action is clicked/started the url that was called in our web page channel should open in a separate browser window/tab. Does anyone know the best way to accomplish this? Thanks...

That is a valid approach but remember to handle the left over processes, after the user opens the new web page they could forget about the process and not complete it gracefully. Consider timer exceptions to ensure the process completes.
Personally I would use the new rule backed record types, you could create a record for each of your URL's and have a SAIL page that displays information about the web link (description, created by, last update etc) alongside the link itself. It may involve an extra click but perhaps provides a better UX and there are no unnecessary processes.
