Set Tab Name of Item

I've created a new item type and the tab names show the item ID.

How do I set it to display the value of another property on the item?

Version 11 SP9.

Thanks!

  • Hi Henry,

    ItemTypes have a property called Keyed_name, which is defined in the ItemType itself. The keyed name is a single or multiple properties, and is set to ID by default. 

    When looking at the properties of an ItemType, there is a column titled Keyed Name Order. This property will set the keyed name of the item. Here's an example for an item which uses it's name property as its keyed name:

     

    It's important to note that the keyed name order starts with zero. If you then were to set the Label property's value to 1, the keyed name would look like {Name} {Label}. A common practice is setting the keyed name to Item Number  or Item Number as 0, and Name as 1.
