Hi Team,

I wonder if there is a way to show the full name in the alert wizard of the recipient (AKA To) instead of the MRE userid?

My client has a valid concern, which is that they do not know who 'X123456' is, but they do know people by name.

Cheers,

Joey

This functionality is easily changed. To change the Users ID to their email address follow these simple steps:

- Edit /ibi/apps/mainstreet/alert_edit.fex
- Change line 121

from >

 var theFEX       = buildFEX("OWNERS", "OWNER_ID", "A12", "OWNER_EMAIL", "A64", null, null, null) ; 

to >

 var theFEX       = buildFEX("OWNERS", "OWNER_EMAIL", "A12", "OWNER_EMAIL", "A64", null, null, null) ; 

- Save changes
- Clear browser cache

Now when you bring up the Alert Wizard you will see a list of the owner email addresses instead of the user id's.

Hi Rob,

I wonder if you can tell me a similar technique, one that returns the full name of the owner instead of the email or ID?

Cheers,

Hi again,

I didn't mention that the user would like the name to show as LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME. I see that the javascript funtion only returns a single field, so I don't anticipate this being possible. Regardless, I appreciate your thoughts on the subject.

Cheers,

Joey

O ye of little faith. Haven't you noticed PMF already displays Owners by Full Name using Last, First elsewhere in the app?

Have a look at OWNERS.MAS which is in your pmf[rdbms] folder (e.g., pmfmss, pmfora, etc.). There is a FULL_NAME field already defined there - wonder of wonders. It's an A67.

Working from the code above you'd use:

 var theFEX       = buildFEX("OWNERS", "FULL_NAME ", "A67", "OWNER_EMAIL", "A64", null, null, null) ; 

Note this would be a modification to the Alert Wizard so you'd have to follow the usual standards to customize it. Alert Wizard is likely to change over time, so you might have to put this mod in again. Luckily it's an easy one.

thanks

Note that in the example at the top, the OWNER_EMAIL field length is stated wrong; it should be "A64" not "A12".
