How to get table name when looking at list of records?

[Justin1]

Looking to get table name at the current list with a UI Action List Button.

Is there an OOB method to retrieve a table name of the current list you're looking at?

Madhuri,

Thank you for replying. However, I'm wondering if there's a way to retrieve table name in a client script so an alert can occur with that table name.

[waqar5]

current.getTableName();
// or for client script something like below.
g_form.getTableName();

[Justin1]

If I'm in list view and looking at a list of records, I don't believe the g_form object is available unless I'm looking at an individual record.

[waqar5]

in that case "g_list" is your savior

Hi Justin,

Try this,

g_list.getTableName();  OR  current.getTableName();
