System Administration: The New Window Mode Options for Link Widgets

MYOB Acumatica dashboards can contain widgets of the Link type, which are used to quickly navigate to needed forms. In previous versions of MYOB Acumatica, when a user clicked a Link widget on a dashboard, the system opened the MYOB Acumatica form in a new browser tab by default.

Starting in MYOB Acumatica 2024.1.1, while configuring a widget of the Link type, a user can define how the system should open the MYOB Acumatica form: in the same browser tab, in a new browser tab, or in a pop-up window.

Specifying the Window Mode for the Link Widget

While configuring a link widget of a dashboard, a user can specify the needed window mode. On the dashboard, in design mode, the user clicks Add a New Widget. In the Add Widget dialog box (shown in the following screenshot), which opens, the user selects Link (Item 1) and clicks Next (Item 2).

In the Widget Properties dialog box, which opens, the user specifies the link widget settings, including the new window mode setting (see the following screenshot). The following options are available in the new Window Mode box:

• New Tab
• Same Tab
• Pop-Up Window
