Can I move the email icon in UI16 back to where it was in UI15?

[aessling]

In UI15 the email icon in tickets was on the bar at the top of the window. Now I have to click on more More options button and then select Email. Is there any way to move the Email icon back on to the bar?

Hi Anthony,

Unfortunately I haven't found a way through the UI to move the email icon out of that menu and back into the form header. I would guess you could probably write some client side js and put it in a client script or global ui script to do it, but I haven't actually seen that done.

You could do your own UI Action like this(Very simple and can probably do it more complex, but this will get you started 😃 😞

HI ,

I tried your logic. it works but anyhow   mail icon is showing on top of form near save, update button   and Bottom of form near save,update button .

Suggest a way to show the email only on top.

I used Goran Lundqvist's advice ^ to create my own UI Action. I also plan on using Cory Seering's code snippet reply on a related question Re: How to call emailClientOpenPop() in UI action? to try to modify it for our needs

But to get the button to look the same as the UI15 mail icon, I made an onLoad client script with the following code:

document.getElementById("email_client_pop").setAttribute("class", "btn btn-icon icon-mail");

document.getElementById("email_client_pop").setAttribute("src", "images/icons/email.gifx");

(email_client_pop is my own version UI Action. The original had an id of email_client_open)

P.S. I also had to leave the Name field blank on my UI Aciton.
