Retrieve Webpage Name & Description within the Webpage

Is there a way to retrieve the webpage name and description for use within a webpage? Specifically, I am working a "standard header" widget that will include the user name, timestamp, and web page name.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
You can use the GetContext service which will return:
Code: Select all
<GetContext Output="False" Workshop="ContextWorkshop" Service="GetContext">
<Output>
<Result SelectOutput="False">
<Application>
<Name>EASYCommerce</Name>
<Description>EASYCommerce</Description>
<ApplicationId>100139</ApplicationId>
<SecurityApplicationId>100136</SecurityApplicationId>
</Application>
<Environment>
<Name>DV</Name>
</Environment>
<Page>
<Name>OrderHistory</Name>
<PageDescription>Order History</PageDescription>
<DeviceType>Desktop</DeviceType>
<FromNativeApp>False</FromNativeApp>
</Page>
</Result>
</Output>

Hey Steve,
I tried this and it worked great! I then went to make a change to try other output elements............and it no longer works That was 30 minutes ago! So weird. Cannot imagine what I have done..............will work on it more later this evening.
BTW............once a webpage has been created, where do you go to see and/or edit the description?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe, I'm not sure if you got an answer for this outside the forum yet, but here is how you edit the description of a webpage.
The pencil icon is available on methods and other types too to edit the name and description you entered when they were created
