Question

Why cannot redirect to another page after saving in SharePoint List?

Leung1975 296

after user save SharePoint Online List item Both in New form and Edit form, I want to redirect to a calendar instead of allitems.aspx. I tried do it as suggested from the community,

Navigate to SharePoint List

Click "New" button from Ribbon to create a new List Item

Copy the URL link from address bar in browser

It supposed to be in this format -

https://c2c.sharepoint.com/sites/SPDev/Lists/Projects/NewForm.aspx ?Source=https://c2c.sharepoint.com/sites/SPDev/Lists/Projects/AllItems.aspx&RootFolder=

The "Source" parameter tells SharePoint where to redirect the user after form submission

Replace the redirection link, everything after "Source="

My problem is, the URL that I copied from my list does not include Source=,

It looks like

http://<site>/Lists/<list>/AllItems.aspx

Or end with:

viewid=

PageType=8&ListId=

Something wrong with above approach? Thanks

// My original post you followed redirect to a calendar instead of allitems.aspx:

We have a submit a request button ( a SharePoint list) in SharePoint Online page ( Microsoft 365) for our clients to submit their request. We want to have a calendar in the page to record and show the submissions so the clients are able to access to the calendar where they could see their own submitted requests ( but not other's submissions). Also, we want the calendar be also the page that our clients are taken to after submitting a request, whereas not it takes them back to a view of all items in SharePoint list view. Just wondering how to do so?

Our clients would use it to both follow-up on their requests and retrieve older requests. But our Admin team would see the list view not the calendar that our client use. Need to separated views. We want to restrict SharePoint Online list with calendar view to record and show submissions created by the user only.

Based on your description, I understand that you want to calendar view only show items created by the user themselves.

Go to List settings -> In the Views section, select the calendar view -> In the Filter section, set Created by is equal to [Me].

I'm not sure how much success you'll get with url parameters. To me the issue is that modern SharePoint (unlike Classic) doesn't allow you to tap into event-handlers or add JS to the various Form.aspx pages to achieve things like this. Before I get into a more complex solution I'm wondering if a tweak to the suggestion @Xyza Xue_MSFT offered might work.

You could, under list settings, toggle the list security setting that permits users to see only their own submitted items. This, along with a calendar view as default might work?

More complex solutions might involve the PowerPlatform or somehow embedding the Edit.Form.aspx into a page and using JS from there.

Thanks, Andrews. The suggestion @Haoyan Xue_MSFT offered does not work. What I am looking for is that, when user click " Submit request" button, it goes to the form of list ( ... mylist/AllItems.aspx), after filling info, the user click " Save" then it will go to the calenedar view ( mylist/Client%20Calendar.aspx). How to make this switch in SharePoint Online?

Hi @Leung1975,

As SD Andrews said, modern SharePoint (unlike Classic) doesn't allow you to tap into event-handlers or add JS to the various Form.aspx pages to achieve things like this. After discussion and testing with my colleagues, there is no option to achieve this in the modern pageI have tested and there is no option to achieve this in the modern page. If in the classic page, you could achieve through java script codes.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Hi @Leung1975,

I understand that you have created a calendar view and set Created by is equal to Me. Implemented the calendar view only show items created by the user themselves.

Your current requirement is: when each user submits their own new items or edits items to the calendar view list, the returned page is the calendar view1 instead of all items.aspx?

Please set calendar view1 as default view in the view settings: List setting->Edit view->Make this the dafault view

Thanks, Haoyan. But it does not work. Actually, what I am looking for it that, when the user click " Submit a request " button in the client page, it open form of list as ....TestList/Allitems.aspx ; after the user filled all required info in the form and click " Save" button, it redirect to the page of calendar, i.e. ...TestList/Client%Calenda.aspx. How to get it? I saw info online to replace url after source=, but I cannot get this source= and replace it ?
