Use the request parameter not the url parameter for list or record navigation.

|Boolean|Returns true if Cabrillo JS will navigate; otherwise returns false.|

Navigate to a URL.

```
cabrillo.navigation["goto"]('/$sp.do?id=my_custom_page');
```

Navigate to a list. The request parameter is preferred over the url parameter for list navigation.

```
// A Cabrillo.NavigationRequest dictionary that specifies a list of active incidents.
var request = {
    table: 'incident',
    query: 'active=true',
};
cabrillo.navigation["goto"](null, request);
```

Navigate to a record. The request parameter is preferred over the url parameter for record navigation.

```
// A Cabrillo.NavigationRequest dictionary that specifies an incident record.
var request = {
    table: 'incident',
    sysId: 'a9e30c7dc61122760116894de7bcc7bd'
};
cabrillo.navigation["goto"](null, request);
```

Navigate to a new record.

```
// A Cabrillo.NavigationRequest dictionary that specifies a new incident record.
// The new record will be seeded with the encoded query.
var request = {
    table: 'incident',
    sysId: '-1',
    query: 'short_description=This is a new incident.'
};
cabrillo.navigation["goto"](null, request);
```
