Hi,
I have a workflow that is going to create a document set, is there anyway to run a redirect that after the workflow is run and the document set is created it will open it up in a new tab or window?
Thanks!

workflow runs in the background on the server so it has no way to interact with client desktop.
you can either redirect a form to document library or you can send a notification from workflows that will contain direct link to new document set.
Hi Kimberley Morrison,
You can do this but you'd need to start your workflow using script.
Use SharePoint's client side rendering to create a button on a form or in a list view to start your workflow using the Nintex web service, I've pasted a function below that will do the job. You'll need to tweak it to include a poll to see if your document set is created and then redirect once it's there.
function startworkflowonlistitem(wfName, itemId, listName )
{
var associationData = '';
var webMethod = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + '/_vti_bin/NintexWorkflow/Workflow.asmx';
var soap= "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>" +
"<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">" +
"<soap:Body>" +
"<StartWorkflowOnListItem xmlns=""http://nintex.com">" +
"<itemId>" + itemId + "</itemId>" +
"<listName>" + listName + "</listName>" +
"<workflowName>" + wfName + "</workflowName>" +
"<associationData></associationData>" +
"</StartWorkflowOnListItem>" +
"</soap:Body>" +
"</soap:Envelope>";
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: webMethod,
beforeSend: function(xhr) { xhr.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "http://nintex.com/StartWorkflowOnListItem");},
data: soap,
contentType: "text/xml; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "xml",
success: function(data) {alert("The workflow has been started");},
error: function (e) { alert('The workflow has failed to start because it is already in progress'); }
});
}
Hope that helps.
