Is it possible to open record view when an ID is entered in text box?

Does it have to be the *actual* summary dashboard that opens, or could it just be an interface that looks like it?

If the latter would be fine, you could have a section (or group of sections) set to show up only when a certain local variable is populated with the ID, at which point you call the sub-interface(s) used in the record dashboard. I don't think you can call the dashboard itself, but you can definitely make it look similar to the dashboard.

The requirement is to not display dashboard in the same interface. I have a interface, when user enters app ID in the text box it should take them to record view. Like how it works when you click on a record link.

Varsha,
The above requirement is not possible currently.

Agreed with @sanjays, there is no other way that I know of other than showing a link the user can click on. You would be able to make it a safe link such that it opens in a new tab, at least, but that's about all.
