Text Elements (SAP Library - Business Explorer)

Text Elements

Definition

Text elements display written texts for a view in a Web report.

Use

The text element displays the query information that the view and the Web report are based on. It is also possible to choose text elements individually.

Structure

The text elements are similar to the text elements in the BEx Analyzer, and are made up of the following parts:

general text elements

technical name of the query (REPTNAME)
description of the query (REPTXTLG)
InfoCube (INFOCUBE)
key date for the query (SRDATE)
accuracy of the data (date and time) (ROLLUPTIME)
the person who wrote the query (AUTHOR)
the last time the query was changed (date and time) (MODTIME)
the last person to make changes to the query (MODUSER)
current user (SYUSER)
the time the query was last refreshed (SYUTIME)
the date the query was last refreshed (SYDATE)

variables
static filter values

As well as its generic attributes, the text element has the following attributes:

Attribute	Description
Display values without labeling (ONLY_VALUES) "X" = Yes, " " = No	If you activate this attribute, the values for the text elements are displayed without any labeling, and the formatting is separated by semi-colons.
Display general text elements (SHOW_COMMON_ELEMENTS) "X" = Yes, " " = No	If you activate this attribute, the general text elements are displayed.
Display static filter values (SHOW_FILTERS) "X" = Yes, " " = No	If you activate this attribute, the filter values that you determined in the filter area of the query definition, are displayed.
Display variable values (SHOW_VARIABLES) "X" = Yes, " " = No	If you activate this attribute, the variable values for the query, on which the Web report is based, are displayed.
List text elements (ELEMENT_NAME_N)	By listing the text element names in combination with their type ELEMENT_TYPE_N, you are able to determine, which entries appear as texts elements, and in which order. With general text elements, the name corresponds to one of the values given above (under General Text Elements). With variables, the name corresponds to the variable name, and with filters, the name corresponds to the name of the characteristic. If you do not specify this parameter, all the filtered characteristics, and all the filtered structures, are displayed.
List the types of text elements (ELEMENT_TYPE_N)	See above: List text elements COMMON = general text element FILTER = static filter value VARIABLE = Variable value

The combination of ONLY_VALUES=X, ELEMENT_TYPE =COMMON, and ELEMENT_NAME=REPTXTLG, it is possible to access a text element directly in the Web template, the query name, for example. The name is used in a title, for example.
