Listed below are the URLs that are used to navigate or do certain actions in Zoho Creator. Please note that all these URLs will work only within the application and not in permalinks and embedding.

S. NoURLDescription
1#Script:page.backNavigates to the previous URL loaded in the browser's location bar. Provided as an alternate to history.back() in Java script.
2#Script:page.reload or #Script:page.refreshReloads the current page(url)
3#Script:page.close or #Script:dialog.closeCloses any dialog that is opened in the page. This will not close the tab or browser window unless it is explicitly opened via a openURL task.
4#Script:dialog.closeAllCloses all dialogs that are opened in the page. This will not close the tab or browser window unless it is explicitly opened via a openURL task.
5#Script:page.open(url, openIn)Opens a particular URL/page in ZohoCreator. "openIn" is the option to tell where to open the URL. The values for this will be new/popup. If the option is not provided, the URL will be opened in the same window.
Example: #Script:page.open("http://www.zoho.com",new)
6#Script:page.parent.closeCloses the dialogs opened in the parent window as well as the open windows
7#Script:page.parent.backLoads the parent window to the previous URL
8#Script:page.parent.refresh (or) #Script:page.parent.reloadReloads/refreshes the parent window
9#Form:<formLinkName>Loads the current page with any form in the same application.
10#View:<viewLinkName>Loads the current page with any view in the same application.

NOTES
- YOU MAY OPEN MULTIPLE TABS AT THE SAME TIME BY PASSING THE PARAMETER "successive=true" . Example: openUrl(link,"new window","successive=true");
- TO OPEN A FORM WITHIN ANOTHER FORM AS A NATIVE LOOK, YOU MAY USED  openUrl("#Form:YOURFORM","popup window","height=<height>,width=<width>");

how to open dialog form and then auto close after action &zc_LoadIn=dialog&zc_NextUrl=#Script:page.reload

Also, to have embeded iframes to work outside of creator, use parameter ?zc_ifr_load=true in the url. Sample: openUrl("https://creatorapp.zoho.com/ataraxia/express-pdf/Deals_Data/record-edit/Deals_Data_Report/" + input.ID + "?zc_ifr_load=true","same window");
