Text management parameters procedure

Procedure aim

You must use the text parameters procedure to define the basic parameters that are required to use text in LN. These parameters provide the users with the basic requirements to write and edit text.

Procedure result and prerequisites
Result

The users have the authorization and means to create and edit text in LN.

Prerequisites

No prerequisites are required for the environment.

Procedure summary
To define the text parameters, you must complete the steps shown in the following figure:
[...]
Schritt 1. Create text windows

You must specify the text window’s properties that define the layout of the text window. For example, the text window’s frame, color, size and shape.

If you use the multiline editor as the external editor, only the number of columns and number of rows are relevant. In that case, the frame and color are defined by default. However, you must make a selection in all fields because you can also use other editors for the text group.

Schritt 2. Create text groups

You must define the text group’s properties. For every type of text, you can define text groups with specific properties. You must assign the text editor best suited to the text window’s function. For example, you can use a multiline editor to write queries, or use Microsoft Word for texts that contain additional information, for example, about items and sales orders.

Schritt 3. Create the template for the text group authorizations

In the text group authorizations template, you must specify the user’s authorization to edit the text in LN. For example, you can grant the users who are linked to the template permission to read, use, or update text. The text group authorization template is linked to the user in the User Data (ttams1100s000) session.

Schritt 4. Create the default text groups by text field template

In the default text groups by text field template, you must specify the text group for a specific text field. If you do not specify a default text group for a text field, LN uses the template that is defined in the default text group template:

Schritt 5. Create the template for the default text groups

In the default text groups template, you must specify the text group LN must use if you have not specified a specific text group for a text field.
