Use

In this activity, you assign attributes to the hold types you have created.

You can assign each hold type a dialog text. You can display this dialog text on the detail screen by choosing Display text. You can use the Edit text function to access document maintenance (transaction SE61) where you can create and edit dialog texts.

You must create a new document for each dialog text in the document class Text in dialog (technical key: DT). Take into account that text in dialog is a cross-client object.

You can also assign a message to each hold type. The system outputs this message if an activity is blocked by a hold of this type. If you do not specify a different message per hold type and callup point in the subsequent activity (Assign Hold Types to Callup Points), the system outputs the message you assign to the hold type in this activity.

Difference Between Dialog Texts and Messages

The message contains a negative statement related to the activity being processed. The system outputs a message if it has to terminate an activity for a specific student. A message might read as follows:

Cannot execute activity because student &1 has open invoices

The dialog text provides neutral information about the hold type. A dialog text might read as follows:

For questions regarding this hold type, contact ...
Office hours from... to..., Phone number...

The dialog text is displayed independent of an activity. For example, a student might want to find out if (s)he has any holds, and if so, contact the person responsible.

Requirements

Standard settings

Activities

  1. Choose a hold type. (You can use F4 input help.)
  2. Assign a dialog text, if required.
    1. If an appropriate dialog text already exists, enter its technical name.
    2. If not, create a new dialog text. The procedure is described further on in this activity.
  3. If required, assign a message to the hold type.
    1. Also assign a message type.
    2. Enter a message class. In the field Message, enter the number of the message within the given message class.
    3. If required, you can enter up to four message variables.
      In the message variable, enter a user-defined text (see example below).

Example of a Message with Message Variables

You assign a specific message to a hold type. You enter message 001 which you have created in message class ZCUSTOMER. The message contains the following short text:

Cannot perform &1 because of &2

To map this in the system, you enter the following data in this activity:

  • Message type: E
  • Message class: ZCUSTOMER
  • Message: 001
  • Message variable 1: course registration
  • Message variable 2: academic hold

Creating a Dialog Text

You have accessed document maintenance (transaction SE61) by choosing Edit text on the detail screen.

  1. Choose the document class Text in dialog.

    Note: You can choose a document class even if the Document class field is in the display mode.

  2. Choose the language of the document.

    The language you choose is the original language of the document you are creating.

  3. In the field Dialog text, enter a technical name in the customer namespace (Y* and Z*).
  4. Choose >Create.

    The Change Dialog text: [NAME] Language [xx] screen appears.

    1. Edit and format the dialog text.
    2. Save your text as a Raw version at regular intervals during processing.
    3. The first time you save the document, you will be prompted to enter the development class and the Workbench request.
  5. When you have finished editing the document, choose Save active.

    This saves the document as an active version and releases it for transport and translation.

  6. Release the Workbench request to transport the document.

Further notes

To translate the document into other languages, go to the Document Maintenance: Initial Screen, and choose Utilities -> Translation.

The Translation: Initial Screen appears. Choose Translation -> Long Texts -> Other Documentation -> Dialog Texts.
