About

This action can be used to navigate to a specific URL in the existing or a new new browser window.

Please carefully consider this action because opening a new browser window on an HMI panel without window management can cause serious UX issues.

However, if you want to integrate third-party HMI applications and can handle things like back navigation, this action can be helpful.

Example

This action will load the HELIO website in the same browser tab. In such a case, ensure that the back button functionality of your HMI is still reachable.

<aside> <img src="/icons/light-bulb_gray.svg" alt="/icons/light-bulb_gray.svg" width="40px" /> Tip: The navigation triggered by this action will be added to the history stack of your browser. Therefore, using the back button will take you back to the original page.
