| Text management overview |  |
| You can use text in ERP LN ’s Text Management for various purposes. ERP LN ’s text management provides the tools to write and maintain text in ERP LN. You can use ERP LN ’s text editor, for example, to write the online Help and write queries in ERP LN ’s SQL Queries module. You can also provide information about the data stored in the database tables. You can, for example, do the following: Link information to a record that defines the contents of the record. Give additional information, for example, about an item or sales order. You can also use ERP LN ’s text management to create the text-related templates that define the user’s text authorizations. You can define the text-related authorizations in templates, which you can link to the users with ERP LN ’s User Management module. Note The text in ERP LN is typically written in the multiline editor. Although the Infor ERP editor is still supported, the multiline editor, which is more user-friendly, is preferred. Description of text-related templates A normal user must have some basic text authorizations. You can define the following text authorizations for the user: Use The user is authorized to read texts and link the text to a record, for example, an order, item, and so on. The user cannot change the texts. Update The user is authorized to create, change, and read text. The user is also authorized to link the text to a record. Read The normal user can only read texts for the specified text group. The user has no authorization to link or update texts. The necessary data and authorizations are defined in the text parameters. These text parameters are defined in the following templates: Text group authorization template Default text groups template Default text groups by text field template For each text group, you must specify the text authorizations, which define the read, use, or update authorizations in a template. If a text is written in a text field for which no text group is defined, ERP LN uses the default text group that is defined for the specified text field in the text groups by text field template. If no default text group is defined for the specified text field, ERP LN uses the information that is defined in the default text group template. You can specify text parameters either for a specific company or for all companies. The text parameters that are defined for a specific company take precedence over the defaults that are defined for all companies. |
