How to change the title of Record conversations shown in Connect


Description


This explains how to change what field value is used for the conversation title for conversations associated with a record in Connect 

This example has the title set to the Number field for the Incident table.

Procedure


Set the title (sys_ui_title) record for that table to point to the Number field (or whichever field is desired). 

Steps to find the table associated with a conversation and set the Title for that table. 

1) Click the conversation in the side panel to open it up in the connect mini window. 
2) Click the View Document button (looks like a square with 3 lines in it) in the chat window header to load the record associated with that conversation.
3) In the URL, you should see the table for the record such as 'sn_hr_core_case', copy this.
4) Navigate to sys_ui_title.list
5) If a record exists for that table, you can simply edit the 'fields' field on it to be Number (or whatever field you wish).
6) If a record does not exist, create a new one and set the table and fields correctly. 

 

Additional Information 


The only documentation we have for the sys_ui_title table is under mobile UI as it also sets titles there.

Navigation by URL explains more on how to find the table in the URL.
