The title bar of the app shows the appname. I was wondering if it can be extended.
Is it possible to append some key context information on the title bar or elsewhere on the form?
Our large body of attendees are divided into groups and the admin (app user) would be managing information for one group at a time.
At any point of time, when admin (app user) sees the UI, he/she should see name of the group for which all the information is being displayed. Adding the group name as a column is of course a solution but not good use of real-estate.
I am hoping to add the group name somewhere up top, say alongside the title of the form.
@LeventK, It changed the label on the individual tab for the view which make sense since I modified the “Display” property of this view. It is a nice feature to be aware of for a appropriate usecase in future.
In my case, I have a USERSETTING which has name of the group that app user (admin) is working on. So all information in various views is displayed for that group. I would like to append the group name to the title so it is always visible even if one switches views.
Alternatively if changing title is not possible, I would like to show this value prominently somewhere on top so it always visible.
Thanks @LeventK !
Sorry, my post was long and I was not clear on my question.
I did try Display Name but found it changed the label on the tab. But I would like to change title bar label such that I can show some USERSETTINGS in the label.
Sorry @LeventK. I may be missing something basic.
I tried on that sample app with just a hard coded string but I could not make the title bar change. See below.
@Mahesh - it looks like you did not enable the “Display name” slider (button and pencil to far right)? I think you also should add quotes around the title – eg: “Hello”
@Mike
Actually you only need to enable the slider if you will construct an expression for the Display Name property. For plain text it’s not needed. You need to write the text in between quotes if you have punctuation characters i.e. “Hello - This is who I’am”. Just FYI.
@Mahesh
I doubt you are trying to change the wrong view’s Display Name. Because I have tested and it works perfectly. The display in your screenshot is a Form View. Can you please ensure that you are trying to change the Display Name for TableName_Form view item? Thanks.
@MaheshG
I think you said you already confirmed this (as you said you tried all three views), but the editor screen you are showing is for the “Repeat Scan_Form”, but the emulator view displayed is the “Scan” view. Just checking that you are looking at the correct view that has been edited.
@Mike, @LeventK, I have been editing view numbered #1 all this time but since @LeventK had doubts I edited the other two as well, just in case.
here’s one with the #1 view fully expanded
