IApps-Navigation
Add-on Feature
The IApps-Navigation feature provides a method for users to circle back to the IndustryApps platform if they have accessed a third-party application which redirects via a new tab. Please utilise this add-on feature if your applications configuration fits this criteria.
Users utilise many applications on IndustryApps for different use cases, and as such providing a smooth flow transition is important for an improved user experience.
The feature should be added as code snippets in your client-side application. The add-on will redirect the user back when the IApps back button on-click event is triggered.

index.html file.In case of an Angular application a similar framework, you may include the
