Values treshold / lookup table in table on rich-text page

Hello all,

With all options I discovered so far  I would be disapointed if there is no way to present the values that are hold in a threshold table (record ID#1) on a rich-text page.

I have a table that contains various thresholds like ie something like 'maximum_number_of_days' and 'max_costs_hardware'.

In the documentation and instructions around the app on a rich-text page I would share these values with the users and to avoid mismatch and the need to change that page with every change in the table I like to show them directly from the source table (if possible) enbedded in the instructions.

Would that be possible?

Thanks

JWS

Working with your existing Rich Text page it is possible to put some raw HTML into it that will include a <script> tag. Editing the Rich Text page is a little tricky as it is not designed primarily for the easy entry of of HTML or JavaScript. But it can be done and the easiest way of introducing the table of parameters ( 'maximum_number_of_days' and 'max_costs_hardware'.) is through using API_GenResultsTable.

The result might look like this conceptually but it depends on your existing Rich Text page content"



It is a bit tricky to edit a Rich Text page in this fashion and the instructions are a bit difficult to explain via the forum.

Feel free to contact me off-world if you want to pursue a solution:

Mmmmm that's not quite the type of presentation I was looking for.
I was hoping to create a table om the instruction page and show just the values with more human language instead of fieldnames.
Would the code page option be more appropriate for this perhaps?
