Define a Go to a Record Action

Use the Go to a Record Action to navigate to a specific Business Object record. Navigate to a record based on Relationship or Business Object, field and field value. For example, select a link on an Incident record to go to the Major Incident it is linked to.

Good to Know
  • If the One-Step™ Action is set to go to an arbitrary record and multiple records that contain the specified value, the first record found is returned.
