[CLOSED] Force View in New Window

May 07, 2018, 12:08 PM

Hi Focus Friends,

In 8202M, is there a way to force urls to always open in a new window? I notice some of my links are just blank (don't work) when you double click because those urls dont allow you to view their site in an iframe. I would like my users to just double click instead of right clicking and selecting "View in New Window"

Please let me know, thanks

That does seem to be a new behavior and I don't see a setting for it in the admin console. You might want to log a case with techsupport and ask their advice.

Thank you for using Focal Point!

You can use, for example:

TYPE=GRANDTOTAL,
COLUMN=N3,
TARGET='blank',
FOCEXEC=DETAILS(
USER='&USER' \),
$

Yep, MMoreno's suggestion works well for drilldowns.

target='blank'

Will open all links in a window named "blank", the first link will open a new window, the others will open in the already opened window.

target='_blank'

will open each link in a new window.

Thanks guys but let me add an image to make my request more clear.

Wondering if I can set "View in New Window" as a default for urls in the new 8202 dashboard as some urls don't work in iframes.

Solutions provided to you are for a direct click on the link, not for the "right click".

Once the direct click run as expected, user should (normally) don't need to right click.

When you right click is normally because you want to access other option than the default one.

I don't think that you can change the default right click action.
