Master Data Long Text

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Each InfoObject has short description and long description. I only saw that we can see them when display the cube data. Where else can we see Long description?

Thank you!

Hi Qingbo,

You can see the Long Text in report as well,

For that you have to make a setting Go to respective InfoObject > click on Business Explorer Tab> Change the Bex Description from short to long --> save and Actiavte

Now the report reflects Long Description instead of short

Hope this helps,

Sudhakar.

Thanks for all your answers. But my question is how to view the InfoObject itself's Long Description.

When we create an new InfoObject, we can enter technical name, short description and long description. I would like to where can we use the long description?

You can use it in the Bex display ..

hi Qingbo,

as mentioned, we can use the long description in BEx,

how the description of characteristic infoobject displayed,

e.g 0country short description = country; long description = country key,

if we set in RSD1, BEx description = long text, then in query designer

we will see country key for 0country.

hope we understand you correctly.
