Hi,

I would like to know how to redirect tab using ui control. The following is what I had tried:

Thanks for helping.

Just send it the tab number (from 0) or tab name

Yes. I got it. Thank you very much for your help. However, I have a doubt. How to manage session in Node-Red?

What do you mean by 'manage session in Node-RED'?

You are using the mdashboard nodes. Those are a fork of the node-red-dashboard nodes. I don't know if anyone here has any experience of the mdashboard fork in order to help with them.

So, you mean that manage session is not possible in Node-RED?

I did not say it wasn't possible. I asked you what you mean by 'manage session' and I pointed out we don't know much about the mdashboard nodes you are using and what they offer above the normal dashboard nodes.

I'm trying to create login session on my dashboard.

Dear ,

The question of @rishanaziz is very important for me. How to handle a session in node red when i use node red for the backend in my app?

You posted this on a thread called “how to redirect tab using ui control node” you would be better opening a new post with a specific title

Can you explain how to doit ?

Rather than tacking your question on the end of a very old thread please ask a new question explaining what exact problem you have.
