Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

I'm wanting to change the title of the page because it has user-related information which I don't want to get stored in the browser. Attaching the snapshot to explain what I'm trying to do. Any help would be appreciated.

I want to change 'Client: Franklin, Benjamin' to just 'Client Information'.

@blue Wang, I tried to use method 1 you'd suggested.

// Code I'm using

function checkStartDate(context) {

document.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].innerText = 'Client Information123';

document.title = 'Client Information1';

};

and It gave an error

Hi Rabbal,

1.Native(note: not using innerHTML but innerText):

document.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].innerText = 'Client Information'; document.title = 'Client Information';

2.JQ:

$('title').html('Client Information'); $('title').text('Client Information');

3. Use this in Page_Load code

this.Text="Client Information";

I tried with document.title but its coming null. Do you mind sharing the code snippet which I should use to change it?

Hi Rabbal,

I posted the wrong link originally. The original link I posted was for supported code to manipulate tabs on a Dynamics CRM form. I have changed this to the correct link.

This is the correct link. This JavaScript code will work for old and new versions of Dynamics CRM, but it is unsupported as it leverages an undocumented internal function and may not work in future versions of Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement.

Hey

Thanks for the suggestion. I've already tried this method but it didn't work. It changes the tab section title and not the browser tab title.

Also, when you said it's not supported then what did you mean? Does it work only for old version of dynamics or it doesn't work at all?

Hi Rabbal,

You can change the display name of a tab with JavaScript using this method, but it is not supported. This method will require you to execute the JavaScript when the form loads.

Thanks for your suggestion. But I need to save client name. Are you suggesting to save client name in another field and leave this default field blank?
