Configuring the MIDM Record Details Page

You can configure certain display options for the Record Details page, such as the name of the tabbed heading and the order in which the tab appears on the MIDM. You can also create, modify, and delete search pages and search results lists. Search configuration is described in Creating Search Pages on the Record Details Page and Modifying a Search Page on the Record Details Page.

Below is a sample of the display option elements for the Record Details page.


<record-details>
   <root-object>Person</root-object>
   <tab-name>Record Details</tab-name>
   <screen-id>1</screen-id>
   <display-order>2</display-order>
   ...
</duplicate-records>

You should never need to modify the root-object or screen-id element.

ProcedureTo Configure Record Details Display Options

  1. In the Projects window, expand the Configuration node in the project you want to modify, and then double-click midm.xml.

    The file opens in the NetBeans XML editor.

  2. Scroll to the record-details element (located in the gui-definition element).

  3. To specify a different name for the Record Details tab, modify the value of the tab-name element.

  4. To change the order in which the Record Details tab appears on the MIDM, change the value of the display-order element.


    Note –

    You might need to renumber the remaining tabs to keep the numbering sequential.


  5. Save and close the file.
