Change Title of Layout in Popup

BLOMASKY

Is there a way to change the title of a VP that is displayed in a popup? I would like the title line to be computed from LoggedInRegularUser....... I sort of can do that if I enter that as the tab name, but now the VP becomes butt ugly with the long HTML String, and it only sort of works.

Sure, I have the following process:

IF PromptFor.PONumber IS DEFINED AND SEARCH_COUNT = 1 THEN
LoggedInRegularUser.selectedPurchaseOrder = PurchaseOrders
DISPLAY LAYOUT 'PO Receive' FROM_VP Layouts

Attached is the screen shot for the "PO Receive" Layout

I would like the name of the popup to be "computed" from LoggedInRegularUser.selected.......

Does this make sense?

If you mean you want to change "PO Receive" to some other text, you can use jQuery to reference the span tag that contains the window title and use the text() function to change it to your computed value.

$("span.k-window-title").text( YourComputedValueGoesHere);

I do all of this kind of manipulation on the client-side directly versus using EXEC_SCRIPT, so I don't know the exact syntax, but you should be able to do something like:

DISPLAY LAYOUT 'PO Receive' FROM_VP Layouts
EXEC_SCRIPT '$("span.k-window-title").text( LoggedInUser.YourComputedValue)'

Thanks!

That helped a lot. So next question, a Tab, if called from a menu, gives me the option to change the tab name. However, if I have a process that has output: new tab, and my process looks like: DISPLAY LAYOUT FOOBAR from VP XXX I have no way to change the tab name. Is there some easy way to do that in the advanced section of one of the panels on that layout?

Thanks

"Easy" is relative 🙂 .. but yes. It's the same principle as changing the window title text.
