a!startProcessLink() open in a different/new tab?

Officially I don't think there's a way to do this.

However if you're desperate, you might be able to examine the properties of the dictionary returned by a!startProcessLink and construct a URL manually which you could then call via a!safeLink.  Just note that this would be completely unsupported, and liable to change without warning at any point in the future as Appian technology evolves. 

Hopefully at some point they might give designers the ability to declare (i.e. via new optional parameter) that certain links should open in a new window (record links, start process links, perhaps others).

The following approach is not recommended, because the parameters might change anytime without prior notice.

load(
local!startLink: a!startProcessLink(
processModel: [Process Model Constant],
processParameters: [Parameters for the Process]
),
a!linkField(
links: a!safeLink(
label: "Open",
uri: "[Appian Site URL]/suite/tempo/start-process/" & local!startLink.processModelOpaqueId & "?parameters=" & local!startLink.cacheKey
)
)
)

Hi Siddharth,

Adding to the Srinadh comment, you can create an environment specific constant which holds the site URL and you can concatenate the parameters.

Hi,

Please go through the following link to find how we can open the process in the new tab:

snapshot.docxHello Nandhavi,

I have similar requirement to start process on a new tab, but my process need some parametreised variables to be passed while calling, hence I have used a local variable where I initialise the proccess variables and then this local variable is used inside the URI field of a!safelink.
But am not getting the desired outout as each time the page loads with error message saying i do not have right permission, which is not true because i have all the required rights plus same configuration works when i directly use a!startProcessLink instead of a!safeLink

But as i need to load the process in new tabe I have to use a!safeLink. could you please help me
