Change Title Link Helper: Serial Control
The Change Title Link helper allows you to change the title that is currently associated with a serial control record. The helper displays when you are modifying a serial control record, or after you’ve created a serial control and are in the modify state of the Create Control wizard.
When you use this helper, the following changes will happen.
