It’s available by default now in Geneva.

Not until now :). Try out the updated script above and let me know how it goes.

The script works of course when editing the article (since it’s a form), but the reeeeally helpful boost would be when viewing the article.

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

We actually prefer to use our pre-defined title (which is different in each environment) when a custom one cannot be used. We’ve also see that this client script is not fired off on list views so the window title will continue to be INC – DESC after the user has left the page. For this reason, we modified your version a bit to help w/ these scenarios.

We basically store the pre-existing title and put a bind on the unload event so it will be restored after you leave the page.

addLoadEvent(setTitle);

function setTitle() {
    var title = top.document.title;

    try {
        var num = g_form.getValue('number');
        var sd = g_form.getValue('short_description');
        var nme = g_form.getValue('name');

        if( (num != '') && (sd != '') ){
            top.document.title = num + ' - ' + sd;
            restoreTitle(title);
        }
        else if( (typeof nme != "undefined") && (nme != 'undefined') ){
            top.document.title = nme;
            restoreTitle(title);
        }

    } catch(e) {
        // Do nothing
    }
}

function restoreTitle(original_title) {
    // change the title back when we leave
    $j(window).unload(function() {
        top.document.title = original_title;
    });

}

‘getCompanyID’ just gets you the sys_id. ‘getDisplay’ doesn’t exist…I think you meant ‘getDisplayValue’. Also, ‘getDisplayValue’ won’t work off of a sys_id string, you have to reference it from a GlideRecord. You’ll also want to be aware that this information will require you to log in again each time as you are testing since it all gets cached as the session is created. I’m also not sure that the client data is going to be available throughout the product, though it should be available on standard forms. I think this is what you are looking for…
[code]
var cmp = gs.getUser().getCompanyRecord().getDisplayValue();
[/code]

I can display company sysID as follows, but still lack the conversion to name.

UI Script

 
addLoadEvent(setTitle);
 
function setTitle(){
 
   try{
 
      var comp = g_user.getClientData('test');
 
   }catch(e){
 
   //alert('Error getting title info.');
 
}
 
   if(comp){
 
      top.document.title = comp + ' - IT Service Management Suite';
 
   }
 
   else{
 
      top.document.title='Service-now.com - IT Service Management Suite';
 
   }
 
}
 

Script Action

 
myCompany();
 
 
 
function myCompany() {
 
   var cmp = gs.getUser().getCompanyID();
 
   session.putClientData("test", cmp);
 
}
 

Tried: var cmp = gs.getUser().getCompanyID().getDisplay();

No because the script actions run server-side and this modification needs to be done client-side. You could modify the UI script above to perform an asynchronous call to the server to get the company data but that probably wouldn’t work very well. I’m not sure of a good way to do what you’re asking for off the top of my head.
