Texts and Text Templates

You can save recurring information as personal text templates, and insert it into your change transactions and messages, by mouse click. Such reusable information could be a signature or telephone numbers, for example. The system administrator can also create system templates with standard texts, which are available to all staff (for example, standardized prompts to indicate which information must be entered in a request for change or message.)

Prerequisites

You have made the Customizing settings for text management. See the Customizing activities under Start of the navigation path SAP Solution Manager Next navigation step Capabilities Change Control Management Transactions Text Management End of the navigation path or IT Service Management Text Determination Procedure .

Note Note

If these settings are not made, the system uses the text types and text determination procedures delivered by SAP by default.

End of the note.

If you want to use Rich Text Format, you have performed the Customizing activity Activate Text Formatting.

Features

Enter texts according to the selected text type (for example, internal note, response). The available text types are defined in Customizing.

Note
The visibility of a text in the system depends on the text type. An internal note can, for example, only be seen by your own support team.
