Defining a Header/Title for a Form

Rules for defining header for a form.

To define headers/titles for your forms:

  • Use the HeaderName parameter in the ShowForm action, to display any special header as the form's header. For further details, see HeaderName.

    The header is then also used as title if the form is displayed in a tab.

  • When displaying forms in a tab you can define a pageTitle attribute for the entire form. This attribute is only used if no HeaderName is specified in the action.
  • Alternatively you can use the pageTitle parameter in the ShowForm action. pageTitle is only used if HeaderName is undefined. The pageTitle action parameter overrides the pageTitle attribute defined in the form.
  • When displaying forms in a popup (without using the ShowForm action), you can add a Header widget to your form and check the updatePopupTitle parameter. The header is then displayed in the popup's title bar.
  • If no header is found (and pageTitle undefined), the label of the button or menu item that called form is used as tab/popup title, see the article “How to Set the Title of a Tab” at https://support.aurea.com.
