How do I include a Skuid page into the navigation menu of a Salesforce console app so that when it displays it always opens up in table view instead of split view?

My company recently purchased Salesforce Engagement.  Its work queues only work properly in a Salesforce console app.  We are using a standard app.  While creating the new console app, I noticed that my previous Skuid overrides for tabs successfully showed when making a selection in the Salesforce navigation menu drop-down.  However, they would open up in the selected view last used (table, kanban, or split view) and cannot be changed using the Skuid screen as currently designed.  I’m tight on schedule so I’d rather not spend time to skinny down the Skuid screens to look proper in Split view.  So either,

  1. Is there an option to open up the Skuid screen always in table view?
  2. Is there the ability from the Skuid screen to change the view from split view to table (or generally any view type)

Hi @dnadrop, thanks for this question.  

Have you looked into Navigation Rules in the Lightning App settings?

 

Yes, I have looked at the navigation rules.  They affect the appearance of an item when I select something from the list.  They do not affect the display of the list itself.

I have an idea that I haven’t implemented yet.  Instead of calling the Skuid page by overriding the Tab action, I will create a tab that encapsulates the Skuid page and add it to my app.  I have a home page tab that encapsulates a Skuid page that always opens in table view in the console app.   Anything I select from the home page opens as an object in the right half on the console app, which is exactly what I’m looking for.

Thanks for your suggestion.

 

Sounds good, @dnadrop. Keep us posted how it goes. 

Another thing I thought of was playing with link target in your Skuid pages to open in same tab, new tab, or current tab and see how that behavior plays out in the Console. But, if you found a behavior that worked, you’d have to adjust for each reference field/link though, which isn’t ideal. Your idea sounds promising.
