# Text Management

## Manager Information

### Category Definition for masks

To make text management available in object masks, you need to assign the category type you want to use in the field definition. When the user wants to assign glossary entry to an object (e.g. BoM position) only those entries are displayed which belong to the defined category. To define which categories are displayed for an object in a mask, open the Form Data mask and specify the category type in the Pre-Field-Userexit field for the respective mask field.

Example

In the mask EDB-CLA-CFR (Attribute), all entries available for being selected in the field Glossary ID (Field name: T_TXT_TPL_DAT.EDB_TPL_ID) need the text management category GLS.

This is defined as follows:

Another category is added with the | character

xtxt_fin_prf /CATEGORY=GLS | GTM /ID=T_CLA_DAT.EDB_TXT_TEMPLATE_REF /TEXT=T_CLA_DAT.C_TITLE

In this example , the user can now GLS - Glossary and GTM - Classification for an attribute.
