How to open a document from a List screen and keep navigation back?

Hi,

I have a custom List screen with a grid and a LinkCommand that opens a document in another graph.

I currently use:

throw new PXRedirectRequiredException(graph, "Document")
{
    Mode = PXBaseRedirectException.WindowMode.Same
};

The document opens correctly, but the original List screen is replaced, so the user cannot easily navigate back.

WindowMode.NewWindow opens the document in a new tab, which is also not what I want.

What is the recommended Acumatica approach to open a document from a List/Grid screen while keeping the ability to navigate back to the original List screen?

Thanks!

Do you mean you want an internal 'back' like records opened from GIs? I think 'Layer' achieves that.

Hi ​@bihalivan15 ,
If I understand correctly, this is a very specific requirement: you want the current behavior (replacing the document) to remain the same, but with the ability to navigate back to the original screen using the browser's back button.

If opening a new tab doesn't work for you, you have a few other options:

  • Pop-up overlay: Open the document as a pop-up in the same tab so the user can review it and close it. This leaves the original screen untouched without forcing the user into a new tab.

  • Side panel: Create a side panel for the document so users can click to open and review it right on the same page.
