thanks to all for the feedback. I was afraid that the 8.1 installer forced you to take ITSM (I obviously haven't taken the time to play yet, hence asking this list). If you can uncheck/leave off ITSM and CMDB etc., so much the better. Thank you all for your feedback and very happy to hear

Setting Text Color of Checkbox and Radio Button Fields

2013-08-14 Thread Ray Gellenbeck
I have seen this in the past, but it wasn't as much an issue as it is now, so I'll ask. I have a custom form with a dark background and I'm using white color for my field label text. I can set that no problem. I use the default light background for the field input areas and black text

Re: ITSM 764 Help Desk Indexes

, not criticism, so I would offer that the original incident index can go if you don't do a lot of children incident tickets, along with owner login Id unless you have a user base in the thousands. It's hard to be more helpful from out of the blue. Ray Gellenbeck On Aug 14, 2013, at 7:45 AM

Another, simpler strategy is to use test users for each test case and set the home page different for each test case loginid. That is what I usually do. Chg_relcoord for a test release coordinator, inc_usecase3 test user, etc. your policies and management requirements may vary. Ray On Aug

Thanks. I'll just go with a grey background before I mess with the css path. Seems borderline dumb to allow changing of the label color but not changing the data color. You can even set the data FONT in some field types, but never color. sigh.

Changing table query details via Active Link
