Integrating Texts into the Form Context

Prerequisites

The texts exist in the system.
You have called the context of a form template for editing.

More information: Defining the Context of a Form Template

You can integrate the following text types into the context of a form template:

Text modules that have been created in transaction SMARTFORMS (not client-specific)
Include texts (SAPscript texts)
Dynamic texts (SAPscript texts that are saved in an internal table with the line type TLINE; the table type TSFTEXT existing in the system is defined with this line type)

Call the context menu for the node under which you want to create a text node, and choose Create Text.
In the Properties of the text node, select the Text Type.
To adapt the properties to the text type, confirm the selection.
In Properties, under General, enter the Name and the Description of the text node.

Note

You cannot transfer the text name using the content of a field until runtime. To do this, enter the name of the field from the form interface.

Enter the text-type-specific properties:

Property	Text Module	Include Text	Dynamic Text
Text Name (Field)	Name under which the text module is saved (or field of form interface that transfers the text name)	Name under which the SAPscript text is saved	Field of form interface that transfers the text name at runtime
Text Object Text ID		If the values are known to the system, it will enter them automatically. To create SAPscript standard texts in transaction SO10, the Text Object TEXT and the Text ID ST apply. Enter constant values in quotation marks. Note Applications define their own text objects for forms in transaction SE75. .
Text Language	Language of text in form	Like text module	Like text module
Style	Style of text	Like text module	Like text module
No error if text does not exist	Avoids an error message in form processing if the text is not yet available in the system	Like text module
Use Style from Text Module	The style of the text module is used in the form
Standard Paragraph		The style that is assigned to the text node contains the format for the standard paragraphs (*). If you specify a paragraph format under Standard Paragraph, you override the paragraph format of all standard paragraphs in the include text.
First Paragraph		If you specify a paragraph format for the first paragraph of the include text, you override the set style. If you leave the Standard Paragraph field empty, all standard paragraphs in the include text are also formatted with this paragraph format.
