Close Tabs Popup And Continue Execution

Audience: Low-code Engineers

Skill Prerequisites: Actions

Closes the popup of a Tabs module, then carries on with the next actions. It's available in forms and listings when the Tabs module is installed. It isn't available in API endpoints.

The popup is one opened with Open Tabs Popup And Stop Execution or Open Tabs Popup And Continue Execution. The action can run from a form inside the popup or from anywhere else on the page.

Action	What happens after the popup closes
Close Tabs Popup And Stop Execution	No further actions run.
Close Tabs Popup And Continue Execution	The popup closes right away and the next actions keep running.

Typical Use Cases

• Close a wizard popup and then save the data, send an email or show a message
• Close the popup and refresh a listing on the page with the new record
• Close the popup and open another one

Don't use it to

• Close the popup as the last action. Use Close Tabs Popup And Stop Execution instead.
• Close a popup opened with Open Form Popup And Continue Execution. Use Close Form Popup And Continue Execution instead.

Input Parameter Reference

Select Module	The Tabs module whose popup to close. Pick it from the list, or click EXPR and enter an expression that returns the module's ID, for example [TabsModuleId].	Yes	empty string	Yes

What happens when it runs

The server sends the instruction to the browser right away, and the browser hides the popup. Meanwhile, the server keeps running the remaining actions.

Closing only hides the popup. The page isn't refreshed, and the forms in the popup aren't reset. The next time the popup opens, the forms in its active tab are initialized again.

In Listings

On a listing button with Client Button turned on, use the client-side Close Tabs Popup action instead. It has the same parameter and closes the popup in the browser without a request to the server. See Item Buttons and Root Buttons.

Considerations

• No error if it's already closed. If the popup isn't open, or the Tabs module isn't set to open as a modal, nothing happens.
• Nothing else is refreshed. Listings or forms outside the popup keep what they showed. Add the actions you need after this one to update them.
• Later actions still run on the server. If one of them fails, the popup is already closed. Put the close after the actions that can fail if the user should stay in the popup to fix the problem.
• Not in every form event. This action isn't offered in the form's On Page Load, On Preinit and On Init events. Use Close Tabs Popup And Stop Execution there. See Form Events.
