Has anyone ever had any luck changing the IE (or your browser flavor of choice) title for a BI Dashboard Group View?

By default, the title of my group view is "WebFOCUS Business Intelligence Dashboard". I'd like to change this to something of my choice, but need to do so only for this particular group view; I can't change it globally.

I checked over the various docs; and it seems like the title might be the only thing I can't change. Any suggestions?

Have you asked IB you are allowed so to speak or if it is a global thing then you may be out of luck unless you can do some kind of 'if/then' logic. I don't administer the BID set up we have, so limited knowlege.

You just have to change the text between TITLE tag pairing in the relevant file. I can not remember the actual file name but you should find it within the respective dashboard view folder(s) on the client server install.

I was hoping it was this easy, but apparently it is not. I can't find any file within the view folder that holds the TITLE tags. It must be inheriting it from someplace else...

It appears that the main Dashboard page is generated by a Java program, so you won't find raw HTML that you can change.

You can do this instead:

Add the following line of code near the top of the banner html page:

<script type="text/javascript">parent.document.title='This is the title of the main BID page, haha';</script>

The banner page is called banner.html and exists in the folder for each group or public view. They are usually stored in this location:

Drive:\ibi\WebFOCUS53\worp\worp_custom\

Each view has a folder named xx_gbv (or xx_mpv for public views), where 'xx' is sequential.

Add the line of code to all banner.html pages found in these folders. You could also add it to the template that you use to create the views with, usually stored in Drive:\ibi\WebFOCUS53\worp\worp_html\

This, of course, won't work if your views don't use the banner page!

Thanks, that did the trick.

jwoelfel,

You can also change the TITLE tag information in the file ..\ibi\WebFOCUS76\webapps\webfocus76\worp\jsp\layout\worplayout.jsp (v76 assumed here). This will cause the browser title bar and tab to use the text you specify regardless of the BID view template you select.

Just remember to back up the original file! I'm not sure what will happen with this file next time we do an upgrade but it works for us.

My suggestion in 2008 no longer works:

<script type="text/javascript">parent.document.title='This is the title of the main BID page, haha';</script>

But Dan's does:

<TITLE><%=sTitle%></TITLE>

I can replace the JSP parameter sTitle with whatever I want. I do wonder though, where is this parameter stored? There is some JSP code to retrieve the parameter:

String sTitle = isI5 ? WORP_Utilities.getDBVar(lang, "I5_DBTitle") : WORP_Utilities.getDBVar(lang, WORP_DBTxtVarsInterface.DB_TITLE);

Where does WORP_Utilities.getDBVar get the variable value from?
