I'm needing a Save button in a form that will save the record I just created and return me to the Dashboard. 
This topic has been closed for replies.

I suggest that you make a button on the Dadhboard to Add Record and it has an option as to where to return to after the Save. Will that solve your problem?

There is also another technique to use. Where is the User launching the Add Record from now? If launching off another record like a Parent, then there is another technique.

What I'm trying to do is have a button in a report on the Dashboard that will make a duplicate of that record and bring the user back to the Dashboard.  I've gotten close, but the record doesn't get saved.  I have been able to create a button that duplicates a record and takes you to edit mode for that new record, but I'm hoping to create a smooth flow that takes just one click.

Thanks,

Dana

I�m traveling now and just on an ipad and don�t have the time to post the full syntax.


If you post your current code I can probably adjust it.


The trick is to to change the code for the button which adds the record


This should solve your issue though. I�m using formula variables. If you have not used then before check the help.


Var Text URLONE = and code here to GenAddRecordForm;


Var Text URLTWO = and the URL of the Dashboard page;


$URLONE

& "&NextURL=" & URLEncode($URLTWO)
