Nintex: Submit a form to a different page

 Oct 04, 2016

When a user fills in a Nintex form and clicks on the Save button, Nintex saves the data and then displays the list or library page. Here, the user can see if the data has been properly submitted. Sometimes it is required that the user lands on a different page rather than the same list or library page, for example to another list or just a page that indicates that data was submitted successfully.

In this situation all you need to do is add the URL of the page in the Nintex Form Settings as shown in the picture.

You should however be aware that if you have space in the URL of the page you should not replace it with the escape character %20, and to just leave the space as part of the text. %20 is added automatically when you copy a URL from a browser. This causes the form to error out after submission.

If you also want to do the same thing with a Cancel button, unfortunately this button does not provide a Redirect URL option to set. Instead what you can do is add a new button control to your form and set its Button action to JavaScript as shown in the picture. You should then set the Client click option in the Advanced section to the following javascript function;

window.open(‘’)

Note the single quotation marks around the URL.

You can now delete the old Cancel button.

Hope this has helped!
