Function documentationCustomizing the User Interface using OTR Texts

 

Several texts on the user interface (UI) are associated with an Online Text Repository (OTR) entry. To edit the heading area text on the UI, for example, you edit the corresponding OTR text using the SOTR_EDIT transaction.

You customize your UI using OTR texts when you want to make the changes for a specific role only.

Activities

To edit the text for a UI element for a particular role, complete the following steps:

  1. In the table below, search for the OTR alias associated with the UI element (and role) that you wish to edit.

  2. Open transaction SOTR_EDIT.

  3. Enter the appropriate alias and choose Change.

  4. Edit the text as you wish and choose Save.

When the particular role runs the process in the Portal, the new text is displayed for that role only.

When you edit the UI using OTR texts, you can also use the following tags (these tags are available for all languages):

  • <PROCESS> for process name

  • <EMPLOYEE> for employee name

  • <OTYPE> for object type text

  • <OBJECT> for selected object text

  • <FSCNSTG> for form scenario stage text

Example

Change the Header Area Text from 'Select Employee' to 'Choose Employee'

  1. Open the list of OTRs (delivered as standard documentation) and search for the OTR associated with the Select Employee step for the role HRASRB.

  2. Note the OTR alias (in this example AOC_ASR_WD_PROCESS_EXECUTE/ASR_IDR_SEL_EMP_MSS)

  3. Open transaction SOTR_EDIT, enter the alias and choose Change.

  4. Change the text to ‘Choose Employee’ and choose Save.

Changing the Title of a Form in the Header Area for a Manager Only

You want the header area text of a particular form, opened by the manager, to read ‘Fill Out <Process Name> Form for <Employee Name>'.

  1. Open the list of OTRs and search for the OTR associated with the fill out form step for a manager.

  2. Note the OTR alias (in this example AOC_ASR_WD_PROCESS_EXECUTE/ASR_IDR_EDT_FRM_MSS).

  3. Open transaction SOTR_EDIT, enter the alias and choose Change.

  4. Change the text as appropriate.

    Wherever you want the process name to appear, use the tag <PROCESS>, and for employee use the tag <EMPLOYEE>.

  5. Choose Save.

    When you select ‘Tom Higgins’ as the employee and ‘Transfer’ as the process, the header text will be read 'Fill Out Transfer Form for Tom Higgins'.
