| data element supplement |
Additional information about a data element in the online documentation.
A data element is usually defined in a document of the document class "data element". If the use of a data element in a screen requires additional information, this information can be contained in a data element supplement.
There are two possible ways of doing this:
This supplement is entered directly in the data element document. It is routinely displayed with the F1 help text for the relevant data element.
This supplement is stored in a document which is associated with the data element and connected to the relevant field in a screen. The data element supplement is displayed with the data element documentation in the F1 help text. Any standard data elements supplement will overlap the screen-specific data element supplement in the display.
