In the workflow I produce the report by an AL with an Open Window

Well considering that as far as know the naming convention is not explained

that. Remedy allows you up to 80 characters to name workflow items, and it

Don't know what version we're using here. You'll need to check the IBM docs

or greater).

Hi,
If you want to make changes you have to do you own due dilligence any way -
logs, workflow analyzers, etc. The naming convensions has been missleading
in the past because of the few exceptions. Technically, every naming
convention that is not mine is missing something (just kidding).

Hugo,
You can do this in a standard way.
Add an active link to the forms that fires on Window Open and on Window Loaded.
Run if: $CLIENT-TYPE$ = 9 ( will limit it to only the Mid-Tier)
Then add an If action:
Run Process
SET-RO-COLOR 240,240,240
That is SET-RO-COLOR
Hugo,
There's a run process that you can use in an active link when the window opens
that sets the color.

Hi Doug
In my opinion there are problems with trying to do too much with naming
conventions for workflow.
One of the principal problems is in applying enhancements to an existing
application - if you add actions to an active link, do you change the name?
If so, your delta definitions file

Hi David, I agree with your approach.
