Setting Alternate Page Element IDs
When you add a page element to the Layout grid, the system assigns the element a unique element ID. This value appears in the ID column in the Layout grid.
As an example, the system assigns the element ID mapbutton_1 to the first push button element you add to a layout page.
Depending on your business and development requirements, you may need to use the page element ID if you develop any JavaScript for your application.
You can override the system-generated page element ID for any element ID that appears as a hyperlink in the layout grid and set an alternate value.
Click the link to access the Add Alternate Label page (IB_DOCLOGUILBL_SEC) to define a unique value for the page element ID.
