Documentation

Definition

Text of up to 40 characters, which forms the first of two lines of text describing the item.

Procedure

If this text length (two lines of 40 characters each) is not sufficient, you can also enter a long text by choosing menu option Extras -> Long text -> Item.

Dependencies

• When you create an item long text, the first 80 characters of the BOM item text are copied to the long text.
• If you change the BOM item text, the first 80 characters of long text are automatically changed, too. If you change the first two lines of the BOM item long text, the short text is automatically changed.

Note:
For text items, this text is copied to the component description field on the item overview.
