Dynamic Browser Window Title

[Jim Coyne]

UPDATED: I've added some code for a few pages that are opened in a different tab/window (Workflow Editor, BSM/Schema Maps, etc...).

There are already a number of scripts out there to dynamically change the title of the browser's window/tab to match the current record you are looking at, but I thought I'd add my own anyways 🙂







I've added a little bit of logic to verify if the record is a new one, or you are in a Search form, etc... You can also set the default title for all the other windows and it strips out the "undefined" string if the name, number or short_description fields are not on the form. To use it, just create a new UI Script, check the Active and Global checkboxes and drop in the following code:

addLoadEvent(u_setCustomTitle);
function u_setCustomTitle(){
   var title = "Custom Window Title";
   var windowName = top.window.name.toLowerCase(); 
   switch (windowName) {
      case "workflow":
         title="Workflow Editor";
         break;
      case "show_workflow_context":
         title = "Running Workflow(s)";
         break;
      case "super_bsm_map":
         title = "BSM Map";
         break;
      case "super_schema":
         title = "Schema Map";
         break;
      default:
         try {
            var name = g_form.getValue("name").replace("undefined","");
            var number = g_form.getValue("number").replace("undefined","");
            var shortDescription = g_form.getValue("short_description").replace("undefined","");
            if ($("sysverb_query") != undefined) {
               title = "Search";
            } else if (g_form.isNewRecord()) {
               title = "New Record";
            } else if (name) {
               title = name;
            } else if (number && shortDescription) {
               title = number + " - " + shortDescription;
            } else if (number) {
               title = number;
            } else if (shortDescription) {
               title = shortDescription;
            }
         } catch(e) {}
   }  
   top.document.title = title;
}

I've also attached an xml file that you can just import as well.
