When creating your own extension, you may sometimes need to redirect to a specific View in the SAP Business One Web Client. For this purpose, you will need to utilize the Views APIs.
This feature has been available since version 10.0 FP 2105.

The Views APIs can be used to generate URLs for the following views:

• List view and detailed view for an object.
• Analytics views.

The image below shows a Fiori app that redirects back to a specific Business Partner and a specific Item.
