## Procedures

- `Truncate(TextToTruncate: Text; MaxLength: Integer): Text`: Truncate the text from the end for its length to be no more than MaxLength. If the text has to be shortened, "..." is be added at the end.
- `Emphasize(TextToEmphasize: Text): Text`: Emphasize a string of text in the headline. Applies the style to the text.
- `GetHeadlineText(Qualifier: Text; Payload: Text; var ResultText: Text): Boolean`: Combine the text from Qualifier and Payload in order to get a single string with headline text. This text is usually assigned to Expression property on the HeadlinePart page.
- `GetUserGreetingText(): Text`: Get a greeting text for the current user relevant to the time of the day. Timespans and correspondant greetings: 00:00-10:59 Good morning, John Doe! 11:00-13:59 Hi, John Doe! 14:00-18:59 Good afternoon, John Doe! 19:00-23:59 Good evening, John Doe! if the user name is blank for the current user, sim...
- `ShouldUserGreetingBeVisible(): Boolean`: Determines if a greeting text should be visible.
- `GetMaxQualifierLength(): Integer`: The accepted maximum length of a qualifier.
- `GetMaxPayloadLength(): Integer`: The accepted maximum length of a payload.

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

- [Codeunit 1470 "Headlines Impl."](../codeunit/1470.md) (7 calls: `Emphasize → Emphasize`, `GetHeadlineText → GetHeadlineText`, `GetMaxPayloadLength → GetMaxPayloadLength`, …)

## Called by

- [Codeunit 1440 "RC Headlines Page Common"](../codeunit/1440.md) (2 calls: `ComputeDefaultFieldsVisibility → ShouldUserGreetingBeVisible`, `HeadlineOnOpenPage → GetUserGreetingText`)

## Across versions

- Present in: BC23-30
- Changed (declaration) in: none

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "codeunit", object_name: "Headlines")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
