Configure a record screen to dynamically inherit a name from a field in a previous
record. This setup enables users to view a single specified field as the screen name instead
of the screen record name.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. In the web-based UI, enter <kbd class="ph userinput">sys_sg_screen.list</kbd> in the filter navigator.
2. Select a record screen to inherit the dynamic screen name.
3. Create a UI parameter in the UI parameter related list.
   1. If the UI parameters, Screen UI element mappings, and Source and UI element related lists are not displayed, add them by clicking the Additional actions icon (![Additional actions icon.]()), selecting ConfigureRelated Lists, and then selecting the required related lists.
   2. Click the UI parameters tab.
   3. Either select an existing UI parameter or click New to configure a new UI parameter with specific values.
   4. On the form, fill in the fields.  
      {#dynamic-screen-name-form__table_n2k_b2t_ylb__entry__2}

      | Field | Value / Description |
      |-|-|
      | Parameter type | Screen |
      | Input source | Auto fill |
      | Input type | Source field |
      | Button parent table | The same table as listed in the record screen. |
      | Source field | The field to display for the screen name. |
      [Table 1. UI parameter element mapping form]

      {#dynamic-screen-name-form__table_n2k_b2t_ylb}
   5. Click Submit.
   {#dynamic-screen-name-form__substeps_brx_lnb_2mb}
4. Define a UI element to serve as the location point of the dynamic screen name.  
   Note:  
   This step is a one-time configuration. Once you create the UI element a new record for the screen title location is not required.
   1. In the web-based UI, enter <kbd class="ph userinput">sys_sg_ui_element.list</kbd> in the filter navigator.
   2. Click New.
   3. On the form, fill in the fields.

      | Field | Description |
      |-|-|
      | Location | Location where the dynamic screen name displays. Select Title. |
      | Name | Name of the UI element. |
      [Table 2. UI elements form]

      {#dynamic-screen-name-form__table_q1y_m4b_2mb}
   4. Click Submit.
   {#dynamic-screen-name-form__substeps_p1y_m4b_2mb}
5. Create a screen UI element and map it to the screen type.
   1. Click the Screen UI element mappings tab.
   2. Click New.
   3. On the form, fill in the fields.  
      {#dynamic-screen-name-form__table_cr1_34b_2mb__entry__2}

      | Field | Description |
      |-|-|
      | Screen | Auto-populated with the selected screen, which inherits the dynamic screen parameter. |
      | UI Element | The UI element to be configured. |
      [Table 3. Screen UI element mapping form]

      {#dynamic-screen-name-form__table_cr1_34b_2mb}
   4. Click Submit.
   {#dynamic-screen-name-form__substeps_br1_34b_2mb}
6. Map the screen UI element with the UI parameter.
   1. Click the Source and UI element tab.
   2. Click New.
   3. On the form, fill in the fields.  
      {#dynamic-screen-name-form__table_ebr_nb1_zlb__entry__2}

      | Field | Description |
      |-|-|
      | UI Element | The UI element to display the dynamic screen name. |
      | Source Table | The UI Parameter table. |
      [Table 4. Source UI element mapping form]

      {#dynamic-screen-name-form__table_ebr_nb1_zlb}
   4. Click Submit.
   {#dynamic-screen-name-form__substeps_mbz_cb1_zlb}
{#dynamic-screen-name-form__steps_vjx_5b4_3mb}
