Formula URL Help Needed
I am not overly comfortable debugging formula URLs. I have two questions. First, I am using a button to trigger a pipeline. The button is in an embedded report and currently when clicked it is goin...

Hi Paul, so you currently have your button redirecting back to the record:
Redirect: &rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" &
TABLEid: Dbid() & "
View Record: ?a=dr&
Record ID: rid=" & [Record ID#]
If you want it to redirect you have to send it to the URL of the report. TO find the Report ID, look at the qid in the URL of the report page:
View Report: ?a=q&
Report ID: qid=REPORTID
So your url should look similar to this:
URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&apptoken=tokenmID&rid=" & [Record ID#] & "&_fid_80=1" &
"&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=q&qid=" & REPORTID)
I found these things through the community, but I am sure there is documentation on this somewhere.

Another approach when you simply want to refresh the page is that they recently gave us a new syntax. The advantage of this is that it will refresh the record if you click the button when you're on the record and it will refresh the report if you happen to be on a report. It would also refresh the page even if you were sitting on a Child table (or even just a report link non-child record) on an embedded record on the form.
I like this consistent Syntax.
var text URL = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&apptoken=tokenmID&rid=" & [Record ID#] & "&_fid_80=1";
var text RefreshPage = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=doredirect&z=" & Rurl();
$URL
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode($RefreshPage)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
The generic syntax for successive URLs is this below and you just slice off as much of the salami as you need. in you use case I took two slices.
$URLONE
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode($URLTWO)
& URLEncode("&rdr=" & URLEncode($URLTHREE))
& URLEncode(URLEncode("&rdr=" & URLEncode($URLFOUR)))
& URLEncode(URLEncode(URLEncode("&rdr=" & URLEncode($URLFIVE))))
& URLEncode(URLEncode(URLEncode(URLEncode("&rdr=" & URLEncode($URLSIX)))))
