Hi Experts,

 

In the FSM schedule board screen "Person Calendar Exception" lookup is showing the Exception Type. But does not show the Exception Type Description.

It is not possible to adjust the screen 'Person Calendar Exception' as it is not available in the UI designer.

Background is to change the visualization of the Exception type -> not only to display the code value but to show the description. As I have checked its showing "PERSONCALEXCEPTADD" screen but that screen is only showing exception ID.

Attachment 02: UI Design of "PERSONCALEXCEPTADD"

 

 

So, my question is this the correct screen to do this change and is there a way that we can change this dropdown values to show description instead of code table value?

 

Thanks

Minindu

Hi @Minindu Somaratne ,

 

Just for a clarification!

Did you navigate to this lookup screen by clicking the Resource name of any person on scheduled board.

 

kind Regards,

Hi @Isuranga Ediriweera ,

Yes. Please follow the below path;

Schedule board > click on any resource > add calendar exception

Hi @Minindu Somaratne ,

 

Yes! The screen is correct! It seems like the screen details are not showing from the UI Editor. But you can achieve this requirement by doing small change from XML editor of the PERSONCALEXCEPTADD screen.

In the PERSONCALEXCEPTADD lookup includes the screen metadata for this exception_type in Calendar exception lookup.

In baseline screen metadata it shows lookup_display_column value as exception_type for this section.

You need change it to description.

 

So, you need to replace the following line in PERSONCALEXCEPTADD screen metadata,

<lookup_display_column>exception_type</lookup_display_column>

With following line,

<lookup_display_column>description</lookup_display_column>

 

This “Exception Type” combo box values of PERSONCALEXCEPTADD  lookup are stored in “Exception Type” code table. So by replacing this lookup_display_column line as above for “Exception Type” combo box, we are changing the display values to show code table descriptions in drop down. 

This change to PERSONCALEXCEPTADD screen metadata will do your requirement. :) 

 

Kind Regards,

Isuranga.
