Why do some views open in new browser tabs?

Experiencing different browser behaviors

NSP’s navigation seeks to reduce clutter and the number of browser tabs opened when changing views. Some views may open in new tabs to facilitate referencing information against the current view or to allow you to continue working in the current view while, for example, a plotter works in another tab.

In general, you can predict the behavior based on the verb in the navigation item:

• View/View in – navigates to another page in NSP in the same browser tab

• Show/Show in – shows something on the same page, for example another area in a dashboard, in the same browser tab

• Open/Open in – opens the view in a new browser tab

Utilities such as plotters, NE sessions, and watchlists open in new browser tabs.
