Hello Everyone,

I am having a requirement to change the view of the form displayed on clicking of the info icon of the reference field.

I have tried the steps provided below:

The format is: "sys_popup,viewName"

->So, let's say you have a record in Incident table , and a record in User table. Incident Record has a view called "viewA" and record of user has a view called "viewB". However, user record also has a view called "sys_popup,viewA" (viewA, matching the name of the view that incident record  has).

->The reference field from incident record Caller that points to user Record, following behavior would be observed:

->If View A is on the Default view (or any other view aside from "viewA"), hovering over the reference icon will simply give you the first form section of the Default view on user Record ; except if the "sys_popup" view is defined. Then, you'll see that view.

->However, since user table has a view called "sys_popup,viewA", if we navigate to incident record and view it under a view called "viewA", then hovering over the reference icon will display a reference popup using the "sys_popup,viewA" view on user Table.

->To put it another way, you can substitute the X in the view name "sys_popup,X" with the view name on another record, and when the reference popup is opened from a record using that view ("X"), you'll see that popup view ("sys_popup,viewX").

 

But I think it is not working. Can anyone explain the steps above if I am doing wrong or is there any other way to this?

All helps and efforts are appreciated.

Thanks in advanced

There is view called Sys_popup, you can modify that view but there is no way to show two separate views in syspopup view.

Hi Mike,

I have already tried the steps mentioned in my question with the sys_popup view. 

Thanks.
