Editing InterfacesLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

If you want to edit a text with the text editor, you can choose between different interfaces. These interfaces determine which functions you can call to edit a text module.

Usually, you work with the interfaces TA or TN:

  • Start of the navigation path TA Next navigation step Application Texts End of the navigation path (variant 1)

    You choose this interface if you can select several texts from the application environment and you want to navigate in this selection list from within the text editor. You need not save each text explicitly, since the navigation functions ( Next Text, Previous Text, Back) automatically save text changes.

  • Start of the navigation path TN Next navigation step Application Texts End of the navigation path (variant 2)

    You choose this interface, if you want to edit only one text from the application environment.

  • Start of the navigation path TX Next navigation step Standard Texts End of the navigation path (text object TEXT)

Depending on the interface, different menu functions are active:
