Enabling rich text fields on Progressive Web Application screens of Smart IT


As a developer, you can update the Progressive Web Application (PWA) screens to support rich text format (RTF). RTF fields enable application users to format text, add images, add links, and so on. 

Important

Only PWA screens support rich text. You can enable PWA only for the following Smart IT PWA screens:

  • Incident
  • Work Order
  • Problem Investigation
  • Task
  • Known Error
  • Asset
  • People
  • Broadcast
  • Change

All other screens that do not support PWA also do not support rich text. As a result, these screens display rich text along with HTML tags. To avoid the display of HTML tags on these screens, set the following configuration parameters to true: 

  • sanitizeRTFWorknoteOnDashboard
  • sanitizeRTFOnSBERequest
  • sanitizeRTFOnSRMRequest

For more information on these configuration parameters, see Setting-configuration-parameters-for-Smart-IT.
