Displaying Dynamic Title

adamgonzalez1984

I want to set up my banner section in the Visual Perspective to show the current campaign the user is working on. Here's what my BSV does....

User logs in and gets presented with a dropdown. They then choose a campaign to work on and click the search button. Then a list of all the jobs that are associated with that campaign show up then they start to edit those jobs or add more jobs. I want a way for the banner section of the visual perspective to show me which campaign they're currently working on. Is this possible? thanks!

Hi Adam,
Do either of these help?

I don't think that will solve my problem. I don't think it the <<Campaign.Name>> would be able to tell what the current campaign the user is editing. I was thinking of using <<ThisCampaign.Name>> but I don't think the system will know what "This" is referring to. I'm stumped!

I'm assuming you have a process tied to the search button.

In that process, you could store the selected Campain in a LoggedInRegularUser BO attribute. Then refer to that attribute in the banner.

No actually there is no process tied to the search button. It's actually a query that uses a custom form with the campaign name as the only cell available. That way the user could select the Campaign and search for all the products associated with that campaign.

is there a way to attach a process to that search button? or Is there a different way I should have gone about it? I'm not really sure of any other way for the user to select a campaign and have all the products associated with that campaign show up. That way I would be able to store the campaign name somewhere, like you suggested.

Your process can first have the user select a Campaign in a form of RegularUser. The RegularUser form can have a custom button name like "Search".

LoggedInRegularUser.SelectedCampaignName will then be available to use in the query.

By the way, if you are just trying to display the Campaign name above the query, there are other alternatives to the Banner section of the VP.

You could also just have a VP that has a form with RegularUser.SelectedCampaignName in a drop down. This attribute can be flagged to "Save form when selection changes". Hide the buttons on this form.

Place the "Selected Products" query in a Content Panel below the Campaign Form. This query will have RegularUser trigger an auto refesh BO.

So, the result will be that every time you select a new Campaign in the drop down, that Campaign's products will automatically show in the query below.
