Changing the Documentation Status

The documentation status is a subobject of a data element. It specifies whether documentation has already been written or whether it is required.

1. In the toolbar of the Field Labels section, choose the Documentation Status button.

   The Change Documentation Status dialog is opened.

2. Choose one of the following status options to indicate the usage and availability of the documentation:
   • Object requires documentation: [Default] Documentation either already exists or should be written.
   • Object is explained sufficiently by short text: Documentation is not required but provided by the short text.
   • Object is not used in any screens: Documentation is not required because the data element is not used in any screen fields.
   • Documentation is postponed temporarily: Documentation does not (yet) exist. The reason might be, for example, because the use of the data element has not yet been fully clarified.

   Note

   If you choose a status that does not explicitly require documentation for a data element, the existing documentation will be deleted.

3. To assign the changes you made to the subobject to an existing transport request or a new transport request, choose Next.
4. Confirm with Finish.
