Specifying Name Display Format

Overview

You can specify a format that can be used to display fields such as ID, Ref. ID, Project Code, Disp. ID, along with the name of the artifact (record). The system uses this to display the name of an artifact on screens where it is not possible to show the above-mentioned fields in separate columns, such as in Repository Explorer.

NOTE

This setting can be configured at the system level or project level.
Settings configured at the project level will override those specified at the system level.

This article describes the procedure for specifying a Name Display Format at the system and project levels.

You can use the following tags:

%Ref. ID%: for displaying the Ref. ID of the artifact.
%Name%: for displaying the Name/Title of the artifact.
%PROJECT CODE%: for displaying the Project Code associated with the project of the current artifact.
%Disp.ID%: for displaying a custom formatted ID based on the setting.

ONLINE HELP

You can access detailed information on each artifact identifier from the link below:Understanding Artifact Identifiers

For example, %TITLE% – [%ID%] [%Ref.ID%] will display the artifact as “CubeSat Dimensions – [ID – TKC4353B2]” where “CubeSat Dimensions” is the name of the artifact and “TKC4353B2” is the Ref. ID of the artifact.

NOTE

It is not mandatory to use all the tags in the format.
All other characters used in the format will be displayed as they are.

NOTE

You can override this setting at the project level. See the topic below.
