How to redirect to a different Page on Site after submitting Form?

Question

I have a form that a user can fill out and submit on a site but when they click submit it refreshes and they stay on the same page. I would like to know how can I redirect the user to the home page or the the record page to the summary view, which is on the same site.
I tried the code below below but it doesn't work, probably the wrong way to implement.
primaryButtons: {
          a!buttonWidget(
            label: "Submit",
            value: a!richTextItem(
              link: a!recordLink(
                recordType: 'recordType![MyRecordType],
                identifier: ri!GARP_Grant_Request.grantID,
                dashboard: "the url for the site record page",
              )
            ),

Thanks for any help the community can provide.

As others noted, standard functionality is to return to where you were when the process began. For this reason, I'll sometimes display a confirmation form within the same edit process via chain from the Edit form, with navigation options such as below. Note when the users click the Home Page link, the task for the process will remain in their queue so I typically implement something like a 15-30 minute orphan timer.

{
  a!richTextDisplayField(
    align: "CENTER",
    value: {
      char(13),
      a!richTextItem(
        text: "Your form has been submitted!",
        size: "LARGE",
        style: "STRONG"
      ),
      char(13),
      char(13),
    }
  ),
  a!columnsLayout(
    columns: {
      a!columnLayout(),
      a!columnLayout(
        contents: {
          a!cardLayout(
            style: "ACCENT",
            link:  a!submitLink( /* Close current process which will return to the start action */
              value: "NEW",
            ),
            contents: {
              a!richTextDisplayField(
                align: "CENTER",
                value: {
                  a!richTextIcon(
                    icon: "plus",
                    size: "LARGE"
                  ),
                  char(13),
                  a!richTextItem(
                    text: "Submit a new request",
                    size: "MEDIUM",
                    style: "STRONG"
                  ),
                  char(13),
                  char(13),
                }

            contents: {
              a!richTextDisplayField(
                align: "CENTER",
                value: {
                  a!richTextIcon(
                    icon: "share",
                    size: "LARGE"
                  ),
                  char(13),

          text: "Thank you for using ",
          style: "EMPHASIS"
        ),

    }
  )
}

This is not supported in Appian. The only work around is to enable chaining in process and show the user an interface with a link to click.
