How to set custom OVS in Standard Screen

[jarenass01]

Hi experts,

We need to change or modify this OVS to redefine the selection filter.
We need to view the users who are inactive as well.

Any ideas how we could do it?.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Unfortunately, this is currently not possible. Neither you can change any OVS properties for a standard field nor you can replace the OVS for a standard field.

But in case if it a really critical requiremnt then you can proceed with a custom solution. High level steps are as follow:

1. Create a new PDI custom field for ServiceRequest BO.

2. Create a new OVS for selecting party ID (including inactive).

3. Extend the standard UI with field created in step 1,

4. Use "Change Field ID configuration" option for newly created field and associate the OVS created in step 3 to it.

5. Finally, hide the standard party ID field.

Thanks

Hi,

It is very much possible to add a custom field to this screen.In your particular case, you should look for COD_SR_TI as the screen name.

In order to find UI screen name there are multiple ways. You find them here:
