Generating Symbols from Value Assignment Types (SAP Library

Generating Symbols from Value Assignment Types

Prerequisites

Procedure

Position the cursor on the point in your document template where you want to insert symbols with the Wizard. Make sure not to place the cursor within the table.

Choose WWI ® Wizard.

The Symbol Tree dialog box appears.

There are several ways of influencing the result of the search in the symbol tree (see WWI: Using the Wizard).

In the symbol tree under Char. symbols, place the cursor on a node to which characteristic symbols are assigned and choose OK.

The Wizard Group Options dialog box appears.

The value assignment type selected is entered in the Substance Characteristic Category field.

If you want to display a heading with the Wizard, set the With heading indicator.

The Filter field is ready for input. The text for the value assignment type has been entered as a search criterion, Relative density, for example.

You can modify the text in the Filter field. Generic entries are accepted and the search is case sensitive.

If you choose the Search function, all phrases in the SAP System that correspond to your search criteria are listed in the dialog box. If no phrases are found, you must change the search criteria.
Position the cursor on the phrase that you want to use as a heading, and choose the required format for your heading in the Heading field under Styles.

All characteristics for the value assignment type are listed in the Symbols area. According to your requirements, the characteristic symbols can be

Removed from the list using the Delete function
Sorted using the Up and Down functions

If you want to display the description of the characteristic for a characteristic value as a phrase, set the indicator for the characteristic symbol at the beginning of each line. The sequence of phrases and values influences the result. See the example given below (characteristic values without phrases are displayed in a row).
Under Styles, choose the required format in the Phrase and Symbol fields.

Set the As table indicator to output the data in table format.

If you do not set the indicator, the data is displayed in list format with three-column tables.

Choose OK.

If you want to display phrases for characteristic values, Word checks if the corresponding phrases are available. If not, the system displays the Phrase Search dialog box in which you can modify the search criteria according to the procedure WWI: Inserting Phrases.

Layout of Generated Report:

Relative density: 0.9 g/cm3

Temperature: 20°C <

Note

To ensure that the temperature "20°C <" is displayed correctly as "<20°C", you must reverse the sequence of symbols on the report template (after you have inserted the symbols using the Wizard). However, in the Wizard, the sequence may not be changed. If you change the sequence, a new line (or table column, see below) is created for each phrase so that the temperature is separated from its accuracy.

Instead, you can set the phrase indicator for the symbol with the incorrect syntax, and change the phrase after you have exited the Wizard.
