Multiline / External Editor (tttxt2230s000)

Use this session to edit texts.

Depending on the authorization, you can edit or read the text. Super users always have authorization to edit texts. The authorization for Help texts also depends on their status, which is set in the Status in Current Language field in the Help Topics (ttadv1160s000) session.

Note: A text can be edited by one user at a time. If you try to edit a text while it is being edited by another user, this message is displayed:

Text is locked by user <username>.

Import file

You can enter the path of a text file that you want to import into the current text. Tools imports the file into the text that is currently open.

Export file

You can enter the path to which you want to export the text file. With this option, you can save the text as a file outside Tools.

Save

Fast copy text

You can copy (part of) another text in Tools. If you select a text in the zoom session, the text is displayed in a second text editor (in read-only mode). You can then copy and paste the text.

If you remove the at sign (@), the label functions as a hyperlink to the Help text it belongs to.
