Urgent Please: How to open a subtab in Service Console on button click?

Hi,

 

In Service Console, I have created a custom button in lead detail page. On click of that button, I need to open a Service Console subtab(passing the lead Id). Please let me know how to achieve this. I dont know much about Service Cloud.

Its very urgent, so a immediate response is very very helpful to me.  Thanks a lot.

Have the custom button execute onclick javascript. Have the javascript code as

srcUp('UrlOfTheNewTabGoesHere');

This approach is not documented. It just uses the existing mechanism that the standard links on the detail page use to open windows as subtabs.

Let me know if you need more help on this.

I dont think the srcUp function defines the tab name. The tab name is from the page that is being opened in the subtab

Hi Jaya

 

you will be able to set sub tab name just by passing tab name as a parameter to openSubTab() standard method.Here is an example:

 

function openSubtab(subtabUrl, subTabTitle)

        {

       

           // Use the results primary tab id and open a new subtab

           var openSubtab = function(result)

           {            

                sforce.console.openSubtab(result.id, subtabUrl, true, subTabTitle, null);    

           };

           sforce.console.getEnclosingPrimaryTabId(openSubtab);

         }

 

result.id - id of primary tab under which subtab is to be opened.

SubTabUrl- url for subtab

true- sets focus on the sub tab opened.

SubTabTitle- This sets your required SubTab Name

null- indicates that new subtab will be opened insted of overriding existing tab.

 

Happy if it helps.

 

Thanks

See code commentation for the description below. 

 

//This line itself fetchs the primary tab id and calls openSubtab function along with the fetched id. Below alerted value gives you primary tab id.

sforce.console.getEnclosingPrimaryTabId(openSubtab);

 

 // Use the results primary tab id and open a new subtab

           var openSubtab = function(result)

           {      

                // This alerted id is itself primary tab id.

                alert(result.id);

                sforce.console.openSubtab(result.id, subtabUrl, true, subTabTitle, null);    

           };

Let me know if your query is resolved.

For subTabURL, how to set the url value.

I hope you had added  <apex:includeScript value="/support/console/22.0/integration.js"/> in your tag. The method you used for service console, mentions the version it is support with in the console/version/integration.js.

Hi all,

I have been doing some research on my issue but have come up empty handed. I am using the srcUp() function on a custom button to open an external page. However, when the subtub opens, nothing loads (see picture below). The domain is whitelisted in the app. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
