I have a question with regards to Custom Tabs. I know about the “look and feel” etc when setting it up and the entire custom tab that I created is working fine.
The issue is as follows: when I am putting a “created_by, last_modified “ as Tessitura has them set up at the bottom of tabs, it places an “edit box” around those fields making it seems like they are editable to the end user. I have them set as NOEDIT, I tried to set the background differently (ie transparent, active window, etc.) and nothing seems to be working. Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks
Joe
Under the EDIT tab of the properties for the created_by and last_modified values select the DISPLAY ONLY box...
Hope that helps,
Adam
You could go the route of using a web page as the custom tab and then you have more control over the behavior, look & feel. We have been using web pages a lot more for custom screens then before.
I tried this but it did not work. Any other thoughts would be helpful?
I tried only font can show the difference.
:-)
this is the result. you can click the pic, then it will show in full size.
I just found a tricky thing to show the difference.
If you make the field as a compute field, then it will not be editable.
:-):-):-)
Hi Joe, we have had the same issues with our custom tabs. Setting Tag as NOEDIT makes them not-editable but it does not change the look. I tried different options but nothing worked. Apparently it’s a Tessitura Custom Tab’s default behavior which can’t be altered. May be in future release we will have this options. I know it did not help you much but knowing something is not doable, or needs too much extra effort, sometimes saves time J

Thanks Mo!!!
One other issue and maybe you could answer this. Currently my custom tab does not like when you try to insert data out of "order". Do you know of a way that the user could put in data at any starting point on the custom tab?
Hi Joe, you are welcome!
If I understood you correctly you are saying your users can’t break the tab order. We actually did not face this problem. We can simply click on any field and start entering data into that field unless the filed we are trying to come out from has invalid data. Could you please check if the field where cursor goes first when you add a new set of data has some kind of conditional input? Like if it’s a numeric field and you accidentally input a character you will not be able to come out of this filed which might give you the impression that you couldn’t break the tab order. Well, it’s just a wild guess. Wish I can help more.

In the picture, it shows how to replace "category" with "compute_16", it is simple and easy.
left part in blue is a standard field "category"with 'NOEDIT' tag,
right part in green is a computed field "compute_16"with same value as field 'category' but will display in a different way.
and then compute_16 will looks like "Variance" in the previous picture.
Hi Mo
I tried what Ben Gu suggested which was make those fields computed fields and it works (does not place the edit box around those fields). What I found is that you cannot put NOEDIT in the tag field.
Joe,
Maybe this has already been covered but you should be able to set the background color of the field you're working with to match that of the window thus making it look like a non-edit field.
Select the field(s) Go to the "Font" tab of the "Properties" window and select the appropriate color from the drop-down. Also on the "General" tab of the Properties window change the "Border" to "no border".

Hi Ben,
Thanks for your mail. I am aware of customizing the object names in the custom tab (like name of radio buttons in the tab) by changing the settings in TR_CUSTOM_TAB but I am wondering if we can change the name of the custom tab itself. Say if we want to rename custom tab from “Custom” to “Single screen “then how to do it, if possible at all.
Thanks for your time
Harpreet

Hi Harpreet,
Good day.
In TR_CUSTOM_TAB, it keeps all the names for custom tabs.
In object_id field of TR_CUSTOM_TAB, it has the links to T_APP_OBJECTS.
You can modify names in TR_CUSTOM_TAB to change names in custom tab.
Have fun.
Ben

Hi,
Can we change the name of the Custom tab. If yes then how? Thanks for your time.

No Harpreet you can’t change the name of the Tab itself.
However, you can change the names of some of the fields and radio buttons in Tessitura (CTRL+ALT+Click on the field), the Tabs aren’t one of the areas that can be changed.
Cheers
