Opening a new IE window with 3 IE tabs
Can Pega OOTB open a new IE window with 3 IE tabs?
e.g. user clicks a hyperlink from window A. This opens window B and adds 3 new IE Tabs to window B.
If not, can anyone send any working custom code to implement this requirement?
Our developers did some research but could not find a solution.

I don't think there is an OOTB way. Write a script as mentioned in :

Hi Chow,
Thanks for posting on PSC.
Adding to my colleague,
Steps:
1. Write below code snippet in "UserWorkForm" HTMLFragment rule.
<script>
function openMultipleTabs(URL1,URL2,URL3) {
var w1 = window.open('URL1', '_blank');
var w2 = window.open('URL2', '_blank');
var w3 = window.open('URL3', '_blank');
}
It will open the content in three new tabs. You can dynamically configure the URL as well by passing it as parameter to this function.
2. On the link/Button or any control, configure an event with "Run Script" action set.

2. On the link/Button or any control, configure an event with "Run Script" action set.
Write the function name there with no () braces.
Alternatively, you can write a custom JS and embed the above function in it and invoke.
1. Create a text file rule type, "MyJS".
2. Embed it in the harness, where your section is configured.
3. Invoke the function as mentioned in first approach(step 2.)
Hope it helps you in implementation. Kindly mark as answered if it does.

Asif, thanks for the detailed information.
Just to verify - will your code open a new window first and then add the three new tabs to the new window?
So far, what we found is that IE opens three new tabs in an existing window where we click a hyperlink/button. Since IE Tab behavior can be set differently in IE setting, we are still unsure if this desired behavior can be achieved consistently.

Hi,
I tried to research more, and could only find out that we can open 3 tabs in the same window or we can open 3 new windows but currently there is no way we can open a window with more than 1 tab.
