We have a Widget group containing a Search widget, and a List widget to display the results. There is a link in each record of the list widget in order to navigate to the record details page and view details in full.
Users have complained that when performing a Search, if multiple results are returned, once you click on one record, it’s impossible to ‘go back’ t the search results as the search has cleared, and they have to start the search all over again.
-
Is it possible to maintain the results in a search page so users can return to it by clicking the ‘back’ button.
-
If not, is it possible to configure the link in the search results to open in a new tab, so as to preserve the Search results page.
Many thanks

In the Widget Group settings you should find a “Remember search criteria” option which should do this if enabled.
Also yes, you can make links open in a new tab, the link fragment has a “Link target” setting, down near the bottom of the settings panel I think.

Are you able to specify new tab for this type of link?
Ah no then, the link option on a normal fragment does not have that setting. You would need to use a separate link column in that case, which has a few extra settings available.
