Jira: ORG-19975


  • In the past when right clicking sheet tab, there is a Sheet Name to Display context menu for user to specify what name to show on the tab.

     In 2020, the context menu is hidden. A system variable @SSL is added to control sheet display name

                   0 – The way before Origin 2020

                   1 – Long name if present (default)

                   2 – Short Name

                   3 – Long Name

     Sheet Name to Display context menu is hidden unless system variable @SSL is set back to 0

  • In Plot Setup, Layer Contents dialogs, Sheet Name will use display name by default. Sheet Long Name, Sheet Short Name can be shown in these dialogs as well.
