There are five long text types to choose from. These are the long text for the notification header and the four you have defined and named in customizing.

We recommend you use the four long text types you can maintain in customizing if you want to structure your information.

If you choose the notification header long text, the system displays the Change Notification Long Text screen.

If you are processing one of the long texts you have defined yourself, a text input screen is displayed.

Enter your long text.

Go to Project System customizing and choose Claim ® Notification ® Create Notification ® Notification Type ® Define Screen Templates ® Format Notification Long Text to determine, among other things, the following:

Existing long text may be added to, but not changed.
The system logs each change to the long text, including who made it and when.

To save the long text and return to claim processing, choose in the Change Notification Long Text screen and in the text input window.

Result

The system displays the texts in the text field.

If you only want to display one text type, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Filters. In the list field, you can stipulate that the system should display all long text types or just one particular type.
