Customizing the title bar

You can customize the text that displays in the BlueZone terminal emulation client title bar. The default text is the session identifier, profile name, session description, and program name.

  1. From the BlueZone menu bar, click FileProperties.
  2. In the Title Bar tab, configure the following fields:
    Field Description
    Session Identifier (%1) Select this check box to display the BlueZone session identifier on the title bar. For example, S1, S2, S3, and so on.
    HLLAPI Short Name (%2) Select this check box to display the BlueZone HLLAPI short name session identifier on the title bar.
    Profile Name (%3) Select this check box to display the profile name on the title bar.
    Session Description (%4) Select this check box to display the session description on the title bar. The session description is defined in the FileProperties Program tab.

    If the Use Connection Name as Session Description check box is selected, the connection name is used instead.

    Connection Name (%6) Select this check box to display the connection name on the title bar. The connection name is defined in the SessionConfigure Edit Connection window.
    Note: If the Use Connection Name as Session Description check box located on the Connections tab (Session Configure Properties from the BlueZone menu bar), is checked, the connection name is displayed twice on the title bar.
    Program Name (%5) Select this check box to display the program name on the title bar. For example, BlueZone Mainframe Display, BlueZone iSeries Display, and so on.
    3270 Application Name (%7) Available in Mainframe Displays only.

    Select this check box to display the 3270 application name, for example, TELNET, CICS, or TSO. To display the application name, the session must be connected to the host using TN3270E.

    Separator Type a character that separates the above values. Spaces are valid separators and can be used in conjunction with other characters. The default separator is “ - ” (space hyphen space).
    Display Custom Title Bar Select this check box to display custom text on the title bar. In the field, type the custom text and substitution variables that you want to display on the title bar.

    For example, if you want the session description followed by the session identifier followed by the words "Claims Application" to display on the title bar, type %4 - %1 - Claims Application in the field.

    This option overrides all of the other settings.

    CAUTION:
    If the Display Custom Title Bar check box is selected and the field is left blank, the result is a blank title bar.
