Browser tabs give no information

Is this just something that happens to me based on a configuration or is this by design?  All browser tabs - regardless of browser - give no information about how to know what it contains.  No title or description information.  Only 'Zephyr Scale - ALM'.

Is this just me?

    Yeah, it's a shame that it doesn't do that by default - that would be extremely useful to keep track of all the tabs.

    You could use a bookmarklet ,enabling you to edit the tab titles.  I've shared how to do that below.  It works, but is a manual action for every tab you want to name.  Still, it might be better than the alternative 😉

    1. Create a new Bookmark
    2. Give it a name, e.g. "Set Tab Title"
    3. Add this as the URL: javascript:(function() {  document.title = prompt("Enter a new tab title:", document.title);})();
    4. When you want to rename a tab title, go to the target tab, click the bookmark you just created, and enter the tab title into the dialogue box that appears

    Another useful option, if you are viewing or sharing many reports, is to give your reports an actual title that describes what you're seeing.  That way you could quickly move through all open reports without naming the tabs.  The report titles are also persistent because they are contained in the URL, which you would save as a Bookmark.

    You can do this by copying the report URL into a text editor, and overwrite the part where you find the text "title=".

    For example, to rename the Test Execution Results (List) report to "All Fails and Blocks Without Issues", you would amend as follows:

    Before: ...&title=Test%20execution%20results%20(list)&...

    After: ...&title=All Fails and Blocks Without Issues&...

    Zephyr Scale will accept the above 'after' version and convert to the correct syntax of: ...&title=All%20Fails%20and%20Blocks%20Without%20Issues&...

    If you wanted to show an ampersand (&) instead of "and", you'd need to type "%26" as that character, and as the ampersand would be surrounded either side by a space, " & " would be  typed as "%20%26%20".  The title would then look like this:

    ...&title=All%20Fails%20%26%20Blocks%20Without%20Issues&...

    Remember to save your new URL as a bookmark!
