Example: Enabling an existing hover window

You can enable existing hover windows on fields to suit your needs. For example, you can add a hover window to show the contact details for the owners of service requests. In general, you can show related information on any fields that support lookup.

About this task

The following hover windows are immediately available on some fields but can be enabled on other fields:
Field ID
Asset asset_recordhover
Work Order wo_recordhover
Person person_recordhover
Item item_recordhover
In a large company, a supervisor is responsible for ensuring that service requests are assigned to the correct responder. To get contact information for the owner, the supervisor typically navigates to the Person record, which takes time and decreases efficiency. The supervisor wants to be able to hover the mouse over the Owner field and see the details of the owner of a service request. You can enable a hover window on the Owner field in the Service Requests application so that the supervisor can hover over the field and see the full name, email address and telephone number of the owner of the service request, without leaving the record.

Procedure

  1. In Application Designer, open the Service Requests application, click the Owner field and select Control Properties.
  2. On the Advanced tab, specify person_recordhover as the ID of the hover window and save the application definition.
