We have a requirement where user wants to show the summary details in a new tab (same chrome tab) on the same interface when a link is clicked.
Currently, we are passing the data of a particular row in the grid to the form using a process model. I mean running a process model to show the read only summary view but that's shown in same tab overriding the current view.
But, they want that a new tab open on same UI (same chrome tab) like in process modeler in Appian to show the summary.
Is it achievable in Appian?

You could potentially do this with any of the "appian tabs" patterns available in the Appian documentation. See, for example, "cards as tabs" or similar options. All you'd need to do is code the "available tabs" to display based on a list, and your grid links, when clicked, would push the value corresponding to that row into that local list and a new tab would become available at that point. I don't have an implementation of this per se, but it shouldn't be hard to do.
Thanks Mike. We were able to implement that. But the only challenge we got is to have an X mark at the corner of that tab to close it. For now we have put an extra "Close" button in the form to close that current tab.
Is there any way that we can close the tab and have the same look and feel like one in image below.
Thanks
In a single Card you could have any combination of components including a dedicated Rich Text Icon which renders at the right edge of the Card and performs "Close" functionality.
