Text Modules 

Use

You use text modules to centrally store texts in the system that you frequently use in forms. This detaches the text maintenance from the form maintenance so that you need not call the Form Builder to edit individual texts.

Integration

You include text modules into forms using text nodes. The text node can either refer to the text module or copy its text. In the latter case you can change or enhance the text according to the requirements of the form.

Features

SAP Smart Forms provide a text module maintenance function that allows you to create and edit text modules. Similar to text nodes, text modules have the following characteristics:

Due to the latter characteristic the logon language uniquely assigns a text module to a language.

SAP Smart Forms include only text modules of language A into forms of language A . The language of a form is equally determined by the logon language.

Activities

  1. To maintain a text module, call the SAP Smart Forms initial screen.
  2. Check the data on the Administration tab. View Language attributes on this tab to see in which language the text module is created. On this tab, you also set the style to be used and other parameters for translation.
  3. Use the PC Editor on the Text tab to enter your text.
  4. After you have saved your text, you can include the text module into a form.
