Custom Workspace Names Step 4: Configuring a Display Name

Related Topics Link IconRelated Topics

 

The fourth and final step in creating a Custom Workspace Display Name is configuring the new display name for the workspace type. The new display name will be the concatenated custom field you created in Step 3.

Configure the display name by editing the workspace type.

Important: When you change the Custom Display Field for an existing workspace type, you change the names for all existing workspaces and requests created from that type. Original workspace and request names are overwritten and cannot be recovered. See Step 3 below for more information.

To configure a custom Workspace display name:

  1. In the Administration Home page, under Workspace Types, click Workspace Type List.
  2. Click the workspace type for which you want to configure the display name.
    The Edit Workspace Type page displays.
  3. From the Set Custom Display Field list, select the concatenated custom field you created in Step 3.
    Note:
    The custom field only appears in the list if you added it to the current workspace type when you created the field. If you do not see your custom concatenated field listed, you did not add it to the workspace type you are currently editing.

Important: If you are editing a workspace type from which existing workspaces have already been created, changing the Custom Display Field will permanently change the names of the existing workspaces. See About Auto-Workspace Naming for more information.

  1. In the Next Item Number box, type a number with which to start the automatic numbering sequence.
    Note:
    If you are creating a new workspace type, type the number in the Item Number Seed Value box.
  2. In the Workspace Item Number Incrementer Value box, type a number for the increment between automatically generated numbers.
  3. Click Save to save the changes to the workspace type.
