Can I have a custom page title in a Dynatrace App?

andycarlson — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 12:56:44 GMT

I have an app that uses filters to display metric relating to various services etc. The intention is to have multiple tabs open in the browser with different filters in each tab.

All fine so far but every tab has the exact same title. I'd like to reflect the filter values in the title so that I can find the tab I want more easily.

Is it possible to customise the title?

I've tried a couple of ways suggested for vanilla React - using a <title> element and using an effect to set document.title but the title always remains as my app name followed by the tenant name and then 'Dynatrace'.

Thanks.

Hi andycarlson!

Thank you for your question. That would be a useful feature and I believe is not possible so far.

Your app is wrapped within the AppShell and we would need to provide the feature there to make the title easily customisable.

The same idea that people raised for our builtin apps https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Product-ideas/Dashboard-and-notebook-name-in-the-web-page-title/idi-p/272609 I can't promise a release date, but currently is on our roadmap

Hope that helps 🙂

Thanks for that. At least I now know that I should stop trying (for the time being).

Hope to see that feature soon 😁

I think this is not possible right now. As Dynatrace apps run inside the platform’s AppShell, which controls the browser tab title. That’s why changing <title> or document.title in your React code doesn’t work—the shell overrides it with App name – tenant – Dynatrace. There’s currently no public API to customize this, so it’s a platform limitation.
