Write redirect for Guided Tasks

First, you need to understand the structure of a redirect.

Structure of a Redirect Script

The redirect is comprised of two components:

  • Command
  • Argument placed in parentheses (), followed by semicolon ;

The script is similar to giving the user instructions on how to get to a specific screen, but it contains the instructions to automatically bring the user to the appropriate screen to complete a phase of the workflowClosed.

The following table lists the most commonly used commands and the requirements for appropriate arguments for each, along with examples:
