Dynamic Naming of Newlook Screens and Fields


Previously you were required to use newlook Designer to identify the screens and the fields in your application before you could start modernizing it using RAMP. Now the new Dynamic Naming feature allows you to set the name of newlook screens and fields in the RAMP Tools window itself:

This means that if you use dynamic naming, it is no longer necessary to start newlook outside RAMP, provided that the default screen IDs created by newlook uniquely identify the screens in your application.

Before you start naming the screens, you may want to use the Identify function in newlook tools to ensure that your screens have unique Screen IDs. If they do not, you will not be able to give them unique names.

Note that newlook licensing features may limit the use of this option in some RAMP environments. Please contact your product vendor for further information.
