Short Text Editor: Where-Used List (SAP Library - Translation Tools for Translators (BC-DOC-TTL))

Short Text Editor: Where-Used List

Use

You can access the where-used list from the short text editor in order to find all instances in the system where a specific source text or target text is used.

Procedure

From the short text editor, select the target text line that you want to find in the system and choose Utilities ® Where-used list.

The system now displays a dialog box where you can make the following settings:

Search parameters

Here you can choose to restrict your search according to source text, target text or both.

To search for all short text objects in which the source text appears (regardless of its translation), flag the Source text field only.
To search for all objects where the target text appears (regardless of its source text), flag the Target text field only.
To search for objects in which this specific target text is used to translate this specific source text, flag both the Source text field and Target text field.
You can also further restrict the search by only searching for objects in which the target text is assigned in the proposal pool in the same way as the proposal you have selected (as a system standard, for instance). To do this, flag the PP attribute(s) checkbox.

Development classes

Here you can choose to restrict your search according to development class.

To search only in the development classes that are assigned to you, select My development classes.
To search in all development classes in the system, select All development classes. If you also want to increase the scope of your search to include object types and development classes that are locked for translation into your target language, you also need to select Include locked DCs and ind. objects.
To search in a specific selection of development classes, select Special selection, then choose Define selection. The system displays the application hierarchy, from which you can make a selection by double-clicking a node, subnode or specific development class(es). The node will change color once it has been selected.
To search within a specific node or subnode of the application hierarchy, select Specific application component and choose the node or subnode in which you want to search from the field on the right of this text.

Now choose Continue.

Result

The system now creates a worklist in a new session. This worklist contains all the short text objects which fulfill your selection criteria. You can now call up each object in sequence and make any necessary corrections.

When you call up an object from your where-used list, you can find each instance of the text you are looking for by choosing Find. The text you are looking for is automatically entered in the Find dialog box that appears. You can branch directly to the text line in this object where the text that you are looking for is used by simply choosing Enter.
