Help text Details

If you choose Help Texts navigation mode in the navigation pane and select a help text, the details pane will display the help text details. Depending on the type of the help text, the following elements may be available:

  • Id - Every help text must have a unique Id. The Id is automatically generated by concatenating the following information, with underscores in between:

    • A prefix

      The prefix depends on the edit mode and on the model name. The following prefixes are used:

      • EA is used for items that are part of Standard Content and the EA2_800 model.
      • EA4IT is used for items that are part of Standard Content and the EA4IT model.
      • CUST is used for items that are part of Custom Content.

    • The help text type (for example, CLASS)

      Note: The help text type has a different naming convention if you compare it to the modern naming in the Workbench. For example, a Workbench Object Type is called CLASS, and a Workbench Field is called PROPERTY when generating the Id. This is done to ensure backwards compatibility.

    • The Name of the help text

    Together, these elements will form the Id, for example, EA_CLASS_Address

  • Name - The name of the help text should form a unique Id when combined with the company name and the help text type.

  • Category - Choose the category of the help text from the drop-down list.

  • Language selector - You can edit the short name, long name, and help text body in the languages that are active. The default languages are always active: English, Dutch, French, German, and Spanish.

    If you create a help text, you need to create it in at least one language. Click a language tab to edit it.

    You can add extra language tabs to your custom content by clicking + and selecting a language. You can also remove language tabs other than the default languages.

    Language tabs will be added to or removed from this help text only. It is not possible to add a language tab system-wide.

    Note: To see texts in other languages in the Angles for SAPWeb Client, you need to activate the appropriate languages in the Angles for SAPIT Management Console.

  • Short name - The short name has a maximum length of 28 characters, and it should be unique.

  • Long name - The long name has no maximum length. Do not use abbreviations in the long name.

  • Help text editor - The body of the help text can be maintained here.
