Launch Record in new window from List Tab
One of my colleagues asked me if there is a way to open a record in a new window when selecting it from the List tab. At that time, I wasn't sure how to do it, but I had done a similar task through Java customization. I was thinking that there must be a way to do it without Java customization or an automation script. While navigating in Platform Configuration, I suddenly realized that yes, it can be done using the "Launch in Context" application.

You can launch a record in a new window when selecting it from the List tab by following these steps
Open Launch in Context Application
Create a new Launch Entry in my case it is "ASTRECORD"
In Console URL provide following URL
http://host:PORT/maximo/ui/?event=loadapp&value=APPNAME&uniqueid={UNIQUE_COL}>> host:PORT is your hostname and port number where maximo is installed
>> APPNAME is your Application Name
>> UNIQUE_COL is your application's Unique ID column name
In Target Browser Window use _blank to open record in new window


Create a signature option in my case it is "NETB"
In Advanced Signature option Select the "Associate to launch entry to enable launch in context" and Under Launch Entry name select the already created Launch Entry name in my case it is "ASTRECORD"


Open your application in Application Designer and apply this signature option as an Event under the attribute (where you will select the record to open it in a new window.


Thank you
