Deep linking to a specific screen which has tabs

Posted on by mdyer1970

Hello All,

I have a deep linking (used in notification emails) issue I am unable to resolve. First thing to note, is I have the deep linking opening to the screen I want, however the issue I have is I have 3 tabs on that screen. The deep linking is opening by default to the first tab on the page, yet I need the deep link to open to the second tab by default. Is there a way to have the deep link to open to the second tab instead of the first tab?

Any help and guidance is greatly appreciated.

Hi @mdyer1970 ,

I cannot see your model, but assuming the tabs are in a gallery, you could test for the existence of the deep-linked parameter and if present, set the Default of the gallery (the Items would need to be a collection) to a LookUp for the value of the second tab. You would also need to set the Variable that displays the second tab controls to this value.

Hi WarrenBelz,

Yes, my tabs are in a gallery. How would I go about testing for the existence of the deep-linked parameter?

The deep link I have set up is opening to the 'New Work Order Request' tab on the 'Facility Work Order' page.

I need the deep link to go to the 'Submitted Work Orders' tab.

I am not sure how to achieve this. What additional information is needed from me?

Hi @mdyer1970 .

To test for the existence of a Parameter

If( !IsBlank(Param("ParamName")), DoWhatever . . . . )

and you would do whatever happens when you select the second tab.

Hi @WarrenBelz,

I understand what you are saying for testing for the existence of a Parameter. However, I what I am trying to accomplish is when the email recipient clicks on the deep link, that it will load the app and will automatically take them to the second tab without any interaction from them apart from clicking on the link in the email.

I will give this a go. I will not be able to get to it until tomorrow. I'll provide feedback on what happens when I get to it tomorrow. Thank you for your help to this point.

@WarrenBelz
My apologies for the delay in my response, been a busy work week.

I was not able to get this to work using a single page with multiple tabs. Due to needing to get my app finished for the customer, I ended up splitting the data I had in the 3 tabs and moving them to their own screens, and also removed the tabs.

I am still keen on getting this to work with tabs on a single screen, but have tabled that for now and will go back to it when I have some more time to sit down with it when I am not under deadlines.

Thank you for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Michael
