Editing work-item texts
Work-item texts are processed in transaction /WMD/XF_TEXTMAIN.
Work-item texts are displayed to the user in the SAP Business Workplace, in the xSuite Web Business Workplace, and in the SAP Fiori Inbox as a short description of a work item. Work-item texts inform the user of pending workflow tasks.
Text templates are managed by workflow and by language. You can create your own, company-specific terms and text modules. The standard xSuite package includes texts in English and German.
The administrator must reset the shared buffer after processing work-item texts. This serves as a buffer for the text elements in xSuite Web. The shared buffer is reset using report /WMD/BC_TLSHB (transaction SE38).
