Definition

This field contains the default values for documentation maintenance. They are broken down as follows:

  • Position 1: language (German, English, ...)
  • Position 2: editing type (display, maintain, translate)
  • Position 3: editing status (raw, final version)
  • Position 4: documentation type ("E" for original, "M" for modification)
  • Position 5 + 6: document class
  • Position 7: activation authorization

Use

These values are activated when you call documentation maintenance. They can be changed and saved in the maintenance transaction.
